For 20 years, Lorenz and her songwriting and soaring vocals were an integral part of the music scene in Vermont, Massachusetts and beyond. She was also a beloved early childhood education teacher and friend. Lorenz grew up in Cavendish and Chester and spent most of her adult life in Western Massachusetts.
In addition to her public life on stage and her work as a teacher, Lorenz was known for her warmth and generosity of spirit with friends and strangers alike. She passed away unexpectedly at her home in Massachusetts on July 21, 2022 due to heart failure/severe anaphylactic shock caused by a wasp sting.
