Lorna married the love of her life, Dick Derbidge on June 27, 1960, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Together they worked side by side raising a loving family and working at their family business. Lorna was an accomplished seamstress, making beautiful draperies. But her greatest joy was found in making beautiful dresses for her daughters. She made prom dresses, gorgeous wedding dresses and a blessing dress for her first granddaughter. She also had many other talents she loved to share such as painting and gardening. She was a very personal lady, never seeking out praise or the limelight. She made many memories spending time with family and friends. She adored her grandkids and was very excited to become a grandma. She had 10 grandkids and 11 great grandkids, all that loved to call her grandma.
