Friends introduced her to Harold Hafen and they married in the Salt Lake Temple on March 17, 1952.

Lorena worked as a secretary at Hill Air Force Base and loved to arrive each morning just as the gate opened so she could be first into the office. She loved to shop for clothes and always dressed nice. She enjoyed a good Rook game and made the best fudge at Christmas time. She was generous with her funds and was willing to help her children and grandchildren. Family was very important to her. She is survived by 21 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren.
