Lorene Payne Percival
December 19, 1937 ~ September 13, 2022
Lorene Payne Percival passed away Tuesday,
September 13th, 2022, at her residence in Olathe,
Colorado. She was 84 years old.
Lorene (Pat) was born on December 19th, 1937,
to Grace Adriene (Payne) and Robert Willard Grant
in Delta, Colorado. She grew up in the Austin and
Roubideaux areas. She spent time in the Delta
schools and graduated from Olathe High School in
1958.
On March 11th, 1958, Lorene and Robert Eugene
Percival were married in Peach Valley,
Colorado. They had an adventurous life, following
road construction around the state of Colorado, and
some in Utah and Wyoming, until they moved back
to Olathe where she lived until her death.
Lorene chose homemaking as her occupation,
taking good care of her husband and three children.
She did spend some time working outside the home
as a librarian, teacher’s aid, cook / laundry for a
Colorow Care Center and also at Russell Stover’s
Candy Factory. In her free time, she enjoyed being a
seamstress, gardening, flowers, reading, listening to
country music, and doing word searches. Any of
these activities were better if they included family,
especially the grand kids! She collected Coke-a-
Cola memorabilia , angels, bells, chimes and
carousels. She loved sending cards to family and
friends and anyone she felt needed a smile and
hope. She was always working on scrap - memory
books for the kids. She loved history! She would tell
the kids, “get out of my kitchen!” and sometimes
even tease them with, “knock it off, I’ll poke ya with
the meat fork!”
Lorene is survived by her children: son Michael
Percival of Colorado, daughters Twna Douglas of
Crawford, CO and Korena “Kay” Percival of Olathe,
CO;brother Daryl Grant of Thornton, CO; Sister Elva
Trimmer of Cheyenne, WY; five grandchildren and
nine great-grandchildren.

husband; two brothers: Marvin and Donald Jay
Grant; five sisters: Wilma Fansler, LaVerla Dorsey,
Louise Fedler, Illene Austin, and Carol Goodman.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of
