"Shorty" North, 80, Norfolk, passed away Sunday, April 24, 2022 at her home in Norfolk. Orlene was born June 25, 1941 in Newcastle, NE to Leslie "Bucky" and Frieda (Nielsen) Colbenson. On May 2, 1964, Orlene married John Spence at St. John's Lutheran Church in Norfolk. The couple was blessed with three children. On March 3, 2003, Orlene married James "Jim" North in Las Vegas, NV. She graduated from Norfolk High School in 1959. She held many positions over the years as a nurse's aid, school secretary and helped John run the local Montgomery Wards store. She and Jim loved holiday decorating for the VFW. Orlene enjoyed reading, crosswords and occasional trips to the casino. She had a knack for crafting and decorating. She loved her family fiercely. Her grandkids and great-grandchildren lit up her life. She didn't have many conversations where she wasn't bragging about one of her family members and was always on point to share pictures with anyone who would look! Orlene was preceded in death by her parents, husbands John (1996) and James (2017), brother Curt Colbenson, and brother-in-law Maurice Ketter. Her work here on Earth is done. She received a call. It was an offer that cannot be refused because it came from Our Father in Heaven. She accepted His appointment from which she will not be returning. Her assignment came with a big incentive/huge sign-on bonus: a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long, long time. Interment will be in the Stanton Cemetery.
