Lori had a deep love for animals, enjoyed watching Steven Colbert, playing Scrabble with her dear friend Maya, and later in life, completing crossword puzzles. She took pleasure in being involved with the local chapter of the Girl Guides, lending her time on several trips and adventures. Travel was a big part of Lori’s life. She enjoyed recounting many happy moments from the cross-Canada road trip she took in her youth as well as from vacations to the Caribbean with her family.

Lori was blessed with a few significant relationships during her life and was a loving partner to Bill Hazlewood, Dave Kindness, and Richard Neil. Lori had an amazing sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and a smile that could light up a room. She felt deeply, lived with her heart on her sleeve, and made everyone feel important. She will be deeply missed.
