In Loving Memory of Lorena (Simmons) Tringali

September 28, 1969 – October 29, 2026

Lorena (Simmons) Tringali passed away on October 29, 2026, following a long hospital stay. Though her passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, her memory will forever live on through her family and all those whose lives she touched.

Lorena was a beloved wife, mother, nana, stepmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her family was an important part of her life, and she leaves behind many loved ones who will cherish their memories of her for years to come.

Lorena had many hobbies and talents that brought her joy. She loved crafting, baking homemade bread, crocheting, sewing, and getting lost in a good book. She was also known for being very stubborn — a quality that was simply part of who she was and something her loved ones will undoubtedly remember about her. She was one of a kind, and there will never be another quite like her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Paul Tringali; her daughter, Kari Lola, and her partners, Chris and Nick; her grandchildren, Ivy and Dean; her stepdaughter, Cate and her partner Andrew; her stepson, Steve and his partner Sally; and her granddaughter Leah; her stepson, Nick and his partner Mandy.

She is also survived by her siblings, Gratia, Connie, Butch, Paula, Darla, Lola, and Robert, along with several nieces and nephews who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Lorena was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Cora Simmons; her first husband, Larry Lake; her nephew, Russell Cromwell; and her brother, David Simmons.

Though saying goodbye is incredibly difficult, her family finds comfort in knowing that Lorena is finally resting peacefully and is no longer in pain. After everything she endured during her long hospital stay, there is comfort in knowing she can rest easy. While she will be missed more than words can express, her family is grateful that she is at peace.

Though Lorena's time here has come to an end, the love she gave and the memories she leaves behind will never fade. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but will forever remain a part of the hearts of those who loved her.

Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
