Lori was born November 5, 1967 in Winona, Minnesota to Kenneth R. and Margaret L. (Sorensen) Long. She grew up in Mukwonago, WI with her parents and brothers. Lori graduated from Mukwonago High School and later earned her associate’s degree from Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids. She held several positions in both the real estate and banking industries, but there was no job she wouldn’t work for the betterment of her children.
Lori lived for the time spent with her children, nieces, nephews, and her grandson. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and aunt. She adored animals. She enjoyed hobbies such as photography, gardening, pottery, crafts, riding motorcycles, and exploring the natural world around her.
Lori was modest and selfless. She lived in the moment and her happiness was derived from the time spent with her loved ones and the joy she could bring them. She was the source of an unwavering love, endless generosity, and an infallible gumption. She is an inspiration to her family and her virtues will be carried forward by her children. She will be missed dearly but never forgotten.
Memorials may be directed in Lori’s memory to The American Cancer Society
Lori was preceded in death by her brother, Andrew Long.
