Lorie was born on January 27, 1971 in Charlottesville. She worked hand in hand with her father at his automotive dealership, J&J Truck and Auto Sales, and was the do-it-all for the dealership. She loved animals, especially pigs and frogs. Her greatest enjoyment came from spending time with her family. She was an avid reader.

Arnold and wife Lyna; niece Ashlyn Hughes (Elliott); nephews, Jay Arnold (Kelsey) and Hunter Arnold; great nieces, Makenzie and Whitleigh and great nephew, Gunner.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Catherine and James H. “Billy” Arnold II and great-grandparents, Virginia and Larcey Gray.
