From the age of 4 when her father put her on stage, she sang with power, passion, and proved every time her love for music.

From singing, cooking, her cosmetology career, and all the way to being a cosmetology teacher. She loved to be able to share her knowledge and better her students. She loved being a teacher and loved supporting the people that needed it the most. If you needed her she was there, if you were hungry she was there, and most importantly if you needed a hug she was there. She was filled with love until the day she was reunited with her family above.

Lori left an impact whether it was small or big on everyone she knew. Lori will be remembered forever through all who loved her. She will live on through all those she taught, all those she helped, and all those she loved. We all will miss her voice, her love, her protection, and her cookies.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for live plants that they can nurture for years to come.
