Lorna Packett Obituary
September 27, 1953 - February 5, 2024
A lifelong Nebraskan, Lorna was born in North Platte, NE, eventually moving to Omaha to attend Patricia Stevens Fashion and Business College. She married Marvin Packett, Jr. in 1973, with whom she had two children: daughter, Regan and son, Tyler.
She appreciated all forms of artistic expression. She loved music, dancing, and creating with her hands, woodworking, embroidery, beading, and many beautiful mixed media collages.
Lorna worked for Boys Town for over 25 years. She was very proud to support those who provide healing and hope to precious children.
Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy. They will miss her jovial and youthful nature, punchy sense of humor, silly dances and songs, and her endless creativity.
Preceded in death by parents; Robert and Patricia Ulrich; and sister, Cynthia Ulrich Sacks. Survived by daughter, Regan (Paul) Daniels, son, Tyler Packett; and grandchildren, Sebastian, Quinn, Thalia, and Max; and a dearly loved extended family.

I worked with Lorna over the years at Boys Town. She had the best sense of humor and always up for a chat. She was a great friend.
