Lori loved her children and grandchildren deeply and dedicated herself to supporting their interests. She also had a giving heart and was devoted to helping others through charitable work —especially Grandmothers 4 Grandmothers, a cause that was very close to her heart. Lori also loved animals and is survived by her cherished puppy, Marley.  A true and loyal friend, Lori maintained lifelong friendships and was always there for those in need. Lori loved adventure and travel, while also devoting her life to her family and friends.

Lori was passionate about supporting others and, in particular, advancing women in the trades. She was deeply committed to the members of UA Local 179, always going above and beyond to support her coworkers.

In the last few years of her life, Lori spent time travelling to Cuba, finding comfort and healing in the sun while meeting new people. Whenever she travelled, she made sure her luggage included supplies and needed items for local children and families.
