WARREN ~ Lorelle Joy
Born Monday January 08, 1962. Passed away Tuesday April 08, 2025.
It is with unbearable sadness that we say farewell to Lorelle Joy Warren.
She was not just an incredible force of nature – she was loving, kind and caring to those around her, especially to those closest to her – as a mother, wife, sister, daughter and dear friend.
She loved to have a laugh, a glass or two of bubbles with friends, she was a people person and loved her dogs. Our feelings of deep loss are equally charged with overwhelming gratitude for having had such an amazing, inspirational woman in our lives.
We love you Lorelle, rest in peace.

A joy to share time with you, to share some special moments as I became a mum. May my daughter one day speak as courageously and lovingly as Elle did for you today. Liam, such beautiful words and lyrics for your mum.
You were joy, you were strength, you were Lorelle. A one in a million.
To more dress ups, to more laughs and to more travel.
Russ we can’t wait to see you and honour Lorelle.
Thanks for sending the big dog past for a laugh while streaming your service. His knackers made us giggle too!In our hearts always & on our fridge daily,

Dear Ellie, Liam and Russ,
My heartfelt condolences. I still remember Lorelle’s big smile as she welcomed me into your home during highschool for play dates or dip in the pool. In recent years, she was a lighthouse and female role model for me when I was working in the spirits and wine world, and I’ll remember fondly the memories of visiting the distillery or bumping into her and Russ at gin events. Thank you for everything. Much love, Dotti xApril 16, 2025 12:36 pm
Dear Russ, Elle, Liam and family,
Lorelle was truly one of a kind — warm, radiant, and endlessly generous. The joy of spending time with you all, and the countless memories made over the years, reflect the love she poured into everything she touched. I’ll never forget her laugh, her beaming smile, and the incredible hugs — especially the last one we shared only a few months ago, long, strong, and full of heart. Holding you all in my thoughts and sending love as you farewell someone so deeply and universally loved. xApril 16, 2025 11:48 am
Deepest condolences to Russell, Liam & Elle. We have good memories of Lorelle always smiling, and giving. She will be missed by us all. Simon, Brogan & Gill.

Lorelle, at sixty-three you flew,
A soul so rare, a heart so true.
An amazing woman, strong and kind,
With endless love and thoughtful mind.A cherished wife, a guiding light,
A mother holding hearts so tight.
A grandma with a gentle hand,
A friend who'd always understand.She lived with grace, she loved with might,
Her laughter made the dark seem bright.
Though now she's gone, her spirit stays,
In every dawn, in quiet days.We carry her in all we do—
Our hearts still full of Lorelle’s view.
A life well-loved, a legacy,
That time can’t fade, and none can see.All of our love and condolences to Russ, Ellie, Liam and Lorelle's families. xx Jeff, Bern and Ash

There are people who leave an indelible impression upon you and Lorelle is definitely one of those. I was only a young girl when I first met Lorelle - in South Africa.
She was tall, elegant, full of smiles and very friendly.
She remained just so. . . always.My mum said Lorelle reminded her of a Lighthouse - I think this is a very apt and appropriate description. A light in the dark - guiding all ships safely to shore, strong, iconic and beautiful.
Lorelle - you are one in a million.
Ellie, Liam, Grandkids, Family and Dear Friends . . . my heart goes out to you all.
Russ . . . when my Dad died, the world seemed void of colour for a long while …. they say that grief is all the love we didn’t get to share . . . you and Lorelle shared that once in a lifetime love . . . you always will. I know that you were a part of each other . . . I know she’s in your heart forever more. Sending love, hugs and prayers across the miles.
🤍
