Lore was born in Italy and lived there with her Italian mother and English father for two years. They then moved to Surrey and Lore worked in London until 1970. She then came to Winterbourne when she married. Lore is the proud Mum of two grown-up children and a doting Grandma to her grandson.

Lore has been working at Silverhill since 2000 where she is "kept young at heart, Mum of the Nursery and Grandma to some."

She enjoys gardening, music, socialising and much needed holidays.
