Lori Fenn

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lori Fenn, who left this world after a lengthy and courageous battle with multisystem atrophy/ataxia. She faced each day with grace, humor, and unwavering strength—an inspiration to all who knew her.

Lori was the cherished wife of 54 years to John, a devoted mother to Michael and Melissa, a proud and playful Nana to five adoring grandchildren, and a beloved sister to Brad, Janis, and Scott. Her family was her world, and she was the heart of ours.

Lori was the life of every party, the one who made everyone feel welcome, seen, and loved. Her laughter was contagious, her spirit magnetic. Whether you were a lifelong friend or a stranger at the door, she had a way of making you feel like family.

Her happiest place was the lake—a sanctuary she transformed into a gathering place for generations. There, she swam with joy, performed handstands in the water, played endless rounds of cards, crafted with love, and hosted many parties. The lake was more than a retreat; it was a reflection of her soul: warm, vibrant, and full of life.

She had a gift for bringing people together. Holidays, birthdays, or just-because weekends—she made every moment feel like a celebration. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she created the laughter she sparked, and the love she gave so freely.

We will miss her deeply, but we carry her with us—in every game of cards, every splash in the lake, and every shared story around the table.

A celebration of life will be held this summer at the lake she loved so dearly.
