Lori was born February 5, 1956 in Royal Oak, Mi. She lived a beautiful life centered on faith, love, family and creating lasting memories.

Lori went on to work for Mr. B's in Troy for almost 20 years! while working there, she went to massage therapy school and did massage for several years until she had to stop due to carpal tunnel in both wrists. She then started making therapeutic rice bags with her sister and sold them at craft shows. Lori worked part time with her husband at a restaurant that they opened together all while still working at Mr. B's. She loved taking care of the 20 plus house plants that filled the home. Lori was always looking for new treats to satisfy her sweet tooth. Cookies, brownies, banana, zucchini and pumpkin breads were always available. The best was peanut butter rice krispy treats that she would save for the holidays, people would call them peanut butter crack! In the 37 years she was with her husband they rescued 4 dogs. Their dream was to someday open a rescue for animals. She is lovingly survived by her husband Tom; stepsons, J Paul (Rachel), and Shane; sister, Lynn Rosewarne; niece, Jaime Rosewarne.
