After graduation and her time at SRJC, Lori moved to Quincy, working for the CDF and at the world famous Capital Club. She met her future husband Keith Watts there. After a couple of years, they moved to Cottonwood where she worked for the CA State DMV in Red Bluff.
In 2022, she was diagnosed with Stage 3/4 melanoma. She was initially successful with her treatment and soon retired from the DMV. She reentered the hospital in a coma a week before passing. She was surrounded with family and visited by friends and coworkers. We miss her infectious laugh, humorous sarcasm and dry sense of humor. She was a fighter. Larry, I and her husband Keith greatly appreciated the support from her friends, especially Lianne Brower and Krista Bjelde. Rest in Peace little Sister.

Lori enjoyed an annual week long house boat trip on Lake Shasta with her many girlfriends. This past Sept, the girls enjoyed many drinks and had a Celebration of Life for Lori.
