Lori was born on January 4, 1962 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Howard and Paula Willert. She was the youngest of three children, including her brothers Mike and Bradley. She graduated from Washburn High School in 1980 and went to college at St. Cloud State. She was a true mid-western girl who loved the rain, snow and the Minnesota Vikings.
Lori's proudest achievement was the birth of her twin children, Courtney and Patrick. Given that Lori always retained her youthful appearance, it is hard to believe that Patrick and Courtney have graduated from college.
Lori worked in various law firms as a legal secretary for nearly 20 years. In fact, she met her husband David in 1998 when she worked at Crosby Heafey Roach & May. They were married on November 3, 2001.
Lori lost her fight with mesothelioma on April 29, 2012. She was loved by us all.
Lori's family requests that in lieu of sending flowers, please make a donation to the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation in Lori's honor at www.curemeso.org.
