She always had a good time shooting pool anywhere that would let her. She enjoyed cooking and baking. She especially liked making her famous salted caramels. Lori was a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan; she would even yell at the TV like the refs could hear her, the running joke was her shouting could be heard on the other side of town. Lori had a great passion for life, she was very loving and caring. She loved taking care of her husband, family, and friends. If you have ever asked her how she was doing, she would reply back “I’m fine, but how are you doing?” She was never one to complain or to be fussed over.
