Lorenza worked as a Nanny/Housekeeper for multiple military families and worked in Laundry Cleaning Services at Clark Air Force Base. She married Rizalino Manalus in the Philippines at age 30. They had five children together, Renato, Dolores, Wilma, Robert, and Rolando. Lorenza came to the United States in 1986 to be with her daughter Dolores and son-in-law Thomas Schragal. Lorenza took pride in caring for her family, especially in the food that she created and the clothes she would sew. Her favorite getaway is the colorful display in Wendover to play the slot machines. Lorenza’s super power was her ability to give love to everyone. She had a special way of touching anyone’s heart in a short matter of time.
