She had a profound love for sports, especially the Detroit Tigers baseball and Michigan State Spartans football. She was an enormous lover of animals and was known for rescuing several neighborhood strays. Lori was always known for her optimistic outlook on life and always put the comfort and needs of others in front of her own.
