Loreen was a postmistress for 34 years starting out in Ophir and retiring from the Bruce Mines post office. She was very involved with her community spending a lot of her time volunteering for numerous committees and organizations. She enjoyed knitting.

Loreen was a lifetime pianist and organist who was self taught. She played at many of the local churches as well as numerous senior and retirement homes. A member of many local bands, Loreen was inducted into the Great Northern Country Music Hall of Fame.
