Lorrie Ann Erp Rogers, 52, North Manchester, and formerly of Rochester, went home to be with God on Nov. 27, 2023.
Lorrie was born on Nov. 10, 1971. The 52 years that she lived were a gift to so many. In 1990, Lorrie graduated from Tippecanoe Valley High School. Lorrie went on to earn a degree from the IU School of Dentistry as a dental assistant. Lorrie chose to work with people of all ages throughout her life. Sharing her beautiful smile, kind words, and love was her superpower!
Lorrie was the much-loved daughter of James and Linda Hatfield Erp, Talma; the cherished sister of Diana Erp Nettleton and husband Matthew, North Manchester; and Emily Erp Vigne and husband James, Lawrence, Kan. She was the best aunt in the world to Harrison and Wilson Nettleton, Elise and Foster Vigne. Lorrie was a proud mom to her cat Pepper, who she loved very much.
Throughout the final years of her life, the people who were her friends, colleagues, Manchester University students and caregivers enriched her life and became a part of her family. Lorrie will always be remembered as one of the strongest people most of us will ever know. She enjoyed making crafts, making wreaths for the holidays and decorating, and watching IU basketball. Lorrie loved watching movies and became quite a movie trivia buff. Lorrie left this world a better place for all of us by simply being her.
Lorrie was preceded in death by her grandparents.
Memorial services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9 at Peabody Retirement Community Chapel, 400 W. 7th St., North Manchester. Arrangements by Zimmerman Bros. Funeral Home, Rochester.
