My Baby Girl and Sunshine passed away peacefully surrounded by her mother, Sueann, sons Thomas and Joshua and friends on December 15, 2025 at St. Luke's Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Lori joined her partner of 18 years in heaven, Donald (Scooter) House who passed away from cancer in 2024.
Lori is survived by her parents, Mother Sueann, Father Thomas, her children Thomas, Joseph and Joshua and Justin and her grandchildren: Isaac, Landen, Sirra, Maycee, and special sister Shanon and school buddy Jodi Gard. Special thanks to Evelyn for helping with all the funeral arrangements.
Lori was always giving a helping hand to anyone who needed it. She was a warm caring understanding loving person. She was a giver, she would help others with cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping, babysitting and answering phones, even picking up parts for Fred's. She would give a needy person her coat off of her back; Lori was a shining star to a lot of people.
Thank you to ALL the staff at St. Lukes Medical Center in Milwaukee especially the Doctor's and Nurses in the ICU. A special thank you to her primary care doctor, Dr. Luna and Dr. McGartland and Associates for there knowledge and compassion in helping Lori navigate her cancer journey.
Thank you to Brad, Lori's cancer social worker and Valerie for all her support.
