Obituary of Lorna (Mullen) Martin

Lorna (Mullen) Martin passed peacefully Wednesday, October 17, 2018 after a long journey with Alzheimer's. Her family was by her side.

Lorna was born in Duluth on January 26, 1937 to Charles and Lorna (Knight) Mullen and attended Morgan Park High School. Lorna married the love of her life, Keith Martin on June 13, 1953. They lived briefly in Tacoma Washington while Keith served in the Army then moved back to Duluth and raised their six children.

Lorna was active in Morgan Park PTA and was a member of United Protestant Church, where she served on multiple committees and sang in the choir. Lorna enjoyed traveling, selling Avon, sewing, flea markets and sharing the time between their Island Lake home and Leesburg, Florida. She truly enjoyed feeding her ducks on the lake each summer. Lorna loved music and could always be heard humming a tune.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sister and brother-in-law, Francis and Floyd Teter; brothers, Jim, Charles, and Terry Mullen; and granddaughter, Shana Holt.

Lorna was greeted on the other side by her son, Ryan who passed in May. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 65 years, Keith; brother, Thomas Mullen; son, Randy (Ann) Martin and daughters, Jill (David) Gordon, Terri (Jeff) John, Tracy Grandi and Robin (Mike) Motley; her eleven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
