Lori Ann MacDonell

Lori was born in Inverness on June 13, 1974.

Lori Ann Burke-MacDonell was a rare soul, someone who could always brighten your day, whether it was with a smile, her infectious giggle, or just having the right words. Nothing put a smile on her face like her children and grandchildren. They were the light of her life. She had a love for animals, especially her family pets.

Lori is survived by her son, Dylan (Mauree); daughter, Sidney; husband, Ronald MacDonell; sister, Jennifer (Todd); nieces and nephews, Kirsten, Gage and Jake; stepsons, Alex (Taryn) and Devin (Breanne); and her grandchildren, Madden and Sam.
