Carmen Dolores Early Sauer Lofgren

January 16, 1931 – April 5, 2014

Carmen was born & raised in Seattle where she attended West Seattle HS, class of 1949. She spent many years in North Bend where she sold real estate, along side her husband Don.

Her love for crafts & sewing prompted the opening of “The Orange Door” where she shared her gift with others. After procuring many collections (incl. glass & vtg. Fisher Price toys), and her long-time passion for nostalgia, it only made sense that she open Grandma’s Thrift Store, right off of Main St. All this while she kept a lovely country home on Mount Si before moving to Ocala, Florida in 1994.

She was preceded in death by Donald, & her first husband Leslie Sauer.

Carmen is survived by her five children, Mark Lofgren, Holli Lofgren, Matt Lofgren, Eric Lofgren and Todd Lofgren, as well as her sister, Sharon Zuvela, and many grand & great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all.
