HEBRON, Neb. — Lorene Mary Faimon, 61, of Hebron, died Monday, Feb. 18, 2019.

She was born May 5, 1957, in Lincoln, Neb. In 1960 at the age of three, she and her brother, Michael, were adopted by Ben and Agnes (Pianalto) Faimon.

Her early education was spent at Stratton Public Schools until she needed more specialized care. She attended other educational facilities. Lorene then lived and worked at SWATS in McCook, earning her way and achieving skills according to her abilities. Lorene enjoyed various activities such as doing latch hook crafts, coloring, and playing games. She especially enjoyed the monthly dances. Because she liked small dogs, she had numerous stuffed animals by her side. As her health deteriorated, she spent her final years in nursing homes. In 2013, she moved to the Blue Valley Lutheran Care Center in Hebron.

Lorene was preceded in death by a older biological brother, Larry Hennessey, and her parents.
