Remembering Lori and George Schappell

Starting their lives of independence, the twins moved out of their parents' home when they were 24 years old. The twins had very different lives and interests. George had a career as a country singer and had many performances throughout the United States. Lori enjoyed spending time at the bowling alley and became a trophy-winning bowler, according to their obituaries.

According to the announcement from Guinness World Records, "The twins lived independently in a two-bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania. They each had their own room – alternating nights spent in each one – and tried to live their own individual lives as far as possible."

The twins cared about others and often participated in the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.

Lori and George are survived by their father, six siblings, several nieces and nephews and a host of other family members and friends.
