Maria Delores Lorenzo, age 60 of Lebanon, passed away at her home on December 23, 2015 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Peru on February 22, 1955 to Francisco and Maria Alva. Maria was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend to many. She will be remembered by her big warm smile, joyous laughter and elegant demeanor throughout her life.
