I am so, so deeply sorry for your loss. Lori always had a kind spirit and was truly a breathe of fresh air. She never hesitated to assist someone in need, whatever it was, most notably on the job. Lori was VERY well known in the Navy Manpower world and a “go-to” in that regard; she dedicated her time to assist me personally many, many times, and for that I am forever grateful. Lori and I spoke often about her eleven Grandchildren, to my one, (we both chuckled about that), and I KNOW she loved spending every minute with them. Lori was my Navy sister (always will be), co-worker and friend! Along with many others, I will miss her cheerful attitude, warm smile and laughter. I pray for your peace, healing, blessings and guidance as you maneuver through this difficult time. RIP in peace Sis.

Lori was hard working, dedicated, and patriotic. She was deeply devoted to her country, family and friends. She continued serving long after her retirement, and she sill be sorely missed by her co-workers. May God bless her family during this difficult time period, and may her indomitable spirit live on through her family and the lives of those she touched.
Rest in Peace, Lori.
