Lori Ruth Davis

Lori Ruth Davis of Virginia Beach departed from us on March 22, 2023. Lori was born in Aurora, Colorado on August 31, 1969 to her mother, Sandy (Hershley) and her father, Lyle Lukes. Lori graduated from Burke High School in Omaha, Nebraska. She also attended Tidewater Community College for physical therapy as well as worked in several daycares. Lori began her career with STIHL Inc in August 2003, where she earned the reputation of top QA tech as well as Head of Audits for all assembly lines at STIHL Inc. Lori’s achievements included raising a great daughter, a son with a huge heart and tolerated a helpless husband! Her interest also included traveling, music, such as Sublime and also rescuing unwanted, old dogs by the names of Taco, Frito, Nacho and Sushi. Lori leaves behind an undeserving husband of 16 great years, a terrific daughter, Alanah, and an awesome son, Tanner. She also leaves behind a strong but silent type brother, Jason and his wife, Lorry, who is a great mother to our daughter Alanah, and two top notch nephews, Dylan and Hayden, and Tanner's father Leonard. Lori was preceded in death by her father, Lyle and her mother, Sandy, also her beloved dogs JJ, Gorgo and Taco. Lori will be placed next-door to her mom at Colonial Grove Memorial Park, so that they can be back together again. The family asks for casual attire, meaning no ties, just be comfortable and relaxed. The service will be at 10 AM on Saturday, April 1, 2023 at Smith and Williams Funeral Home. We ask that family and friends show up between nine and 10 o'clock, so that you may be recognized and thanked for attending. In lieu of flowers we wish to ask that you make donations to your favorite charities in her name. You could also please donate to Virginia Beach Animal Care And Adoption Center. Thank you.
