Lorie loved her family and friends dearly, and that love was returned in abundance. She had beautiful blue eyes, a smile that could light up a room, the most infectious laugh, and the kindest spirit. Her warmth and personality touched the lives of those around her, and she will be remembered with love by all who knew her.

She loved traveling and exploring new places, with cruises being her favorite way to see the world. Of all her adventures, her favorite trip was traveling overseas to Ireland, a special experience she cherished.

Lorie will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who will carry her memory in their hearts.
