Lorri Driscoll

Lorri-Anne Driscoll passed away peacefully with her husband and two daughters holding her hands while by her side following a valiant battle with cancer.Lorri believed and emphasized that death is not extinguishing the light; it is only dimming the lamp because dawn has come. Brave and beautiful through her last days. Lorri was the most kind, wonderful, inspirational wife, neighbor, and friend and most importantly, mom that her daughters Poleigh and Jayde could have ever asked for, she taught everyone that knew her the valuable lesson that although death can end a life, death does not have the power to end a relationship or the power of everlasting love. She taught her family that when we love someone who is leaving us, we have to understand and appreciate how much of a gift it has been simply to love this person. We will miss her weekend family time, cooking, relaxing and laughing, especially laughing at her own jokes. Her expressions and kind greetings to everyone she met, such as, I love you Doll and Thank you Doll. She would curl up on the couch in her bathrobe and slippers facetiming her daughters every night just to touch base at the end of every day. Lorri was the least judgmental person- she loved everyone and found the good in everyone. She loved the uniqueness and diversity in all people, appearance, race, religion or whom one loved were all just part of the beautiful package of every individual person in Lorris eyes. Lorri was family, faith , home, kindness, tolerance, love and forever thankful embodied into a soul loved by so many. Our greatest peace and hope as a family comes from our belief that the world had something more beautiful in store for Lorri. She made her impact on this world, and it was time for her to be somewhere else where she could do the same. She is now somewhere else where she can spread her magic in another way. As she always said at the end of every day to her daughters Poleigh and Jayde, I love you to the sky and back again, we will miss her terribly but look forward to the day we will all be together again. We love you Lorri Driscoll and thank you for the joy, kindness and happiness while here with us on earth. Rest in peace Mame, until we meet again. Lorri is predeceased by her brother, Buzzy-Robert P.
