Lori was born on April 11th, 1952 in Delmenhorst, Germany, delivered by a midwife who arrived on a bicycle. Lori was born blue, with the cord wrapped around her neck; she had a fighting spirit right from birth.
The daughter of the late Hans and Tillie Bolte, the family sailed to Ellis Island from Germany in 1957, settling in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. Lori graduated from the Crestwood High School class of 1969. After high school, Lori worked as an office manager for auto suppliers.
Lori married Rick Sorenson in 1986, and they often enjoyed trips to Europe and Japan. She loved her Corvette, boating, motorcycles, motorhome travels, and time with her family. They moved to Florida in 2008 and Lori loved volunteering at Meals on Wheels, Share the Blessings Ministry, and C.A.R.E.
In addition to her parents, Lori was predeceased by her brother Michael. Lori is survived by her husband Rick, her daughter Kelly Marie (Scott) Schenkenberger, her brother Hans Bolte and her extended family members.
Lori will be dearly missed by her friends and family, and is now at eternal rest.
