Family was the most important thing to Lori, she made sure to create a warm and loving home for her husband and sons. Lori's love for her family extended to her pets, especially her beloved dog Lucky who she lost in 2021. She also had two other dachshund puppies, Teddy and Bear, who brought her joy. She loved food and ensuring all those around her never went hungry. Lori enjoyed fishing, glamping, gardening, and sitting in the sunshine. In her free time, Lori liked shopping and garage sales, always on the hunt for a great bargain or a hidden treasure.
