She attended high school in Davenport and worked for a short while at Fidlar & Chambers Printing Company, where she met the love of her life, Richard Resnick. They married and Loris became a stay at home mom after having 4 daughters. She was a devoted mother to her girls and attended all their activities.

With 4 girls, she was busy attending gymnastics, dance lessons and shows, along with all the sports activities the girls were involved in.

When her daughters got married, they added 7 grandsons and she enjoyed attending as many of their activities and sports as she could, as she was devoted to her family.
