She is survived by her husband, Darrol Schultze and her two children: Basil Freeman and Shannon Schultze.
Lori was an extraordinary person with love and kindness in her heart. She loved each and every person she interacted with throughout her life, and preached love and kindness to those around her. During her youth, she and her family moved around the United States, living for a time in Florida where Lori spent many days of her youth swimming, running through groves of orange trees, and stumbling upon armadillos.
Lori attended high school at Johnson High School in St. Paul, Minnesota where she acquired a passion for art, beauty, and design. After high school, she attended the Rosemont Minnesota Vo-Tech pursing architecture and design. After graduating with her degree in architecture, Lori went on to start her career at SuperValue, bringing a touch of excellence and grace to the commercial design industry.
Lori moved to Kansas City in 1993 and began working for Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG). While at AWG, Lori brought her unique sense of design and fashion to grocery stores all over the United States, winning countless awards for lighting and interior design. During this time she also met her husband, Darrol Schultze, who was her lifelong companion for the next 24 years. While in Kansas City, Lori produced super markets designs and plans that would change the industry and provide a sense of comfort to millions of shoppers. Her life's work was to ensure that people would enjoy their day-to-day activity of grocery shopping, and she succeeded in a big way. Not only touching the lives of shoppers and consumers, but also the lives of those she worked with on a day-to-day basis. Lori's life and impact on the lives of millions will never be forgotten, nor will the kindness and grace she brought to those around her.
In the last years of her life, Lori spent much of her time with her husband, Darrol, and their two children Basil and Shannon. During this period, Lori spent time going to social events with her friends of many years, and enjoying the outdoors with her dog, Momo. In her last years, her husband, children, and family were around her, loving her as she had loved them for so many years.
Servies will be held on Tuesday February 23rd, 2020 at Mt. Moriah, Newcomber & Freeman Funeral Home.
