Spending most of her career in the restaurant industry, Lori is known for opening "Lori's Caf?" on Wall Street. Lori was a determined, single mother who provided a wonderful life for her children, despite the times. She opened Lori's Caf? with little money and formed a successful business. Midlander's sat at her counter to eat, and share family time slowly making it a Midland mainstay for years. Her food was fantastic, she made unbelievable meals, and desserts. She showed her love through food, and it was always amazing.
She was an inspiration and mentor to her children: Melissa Lee, Gayla Hanshew, Anita Marshall and Timothy Rogers. Most people that have lived in Midland have met her and adored her. She could be brash and kind, sweet and as protective as a bear if she loved you.
Lori's came from a large family and had seven siblings: Clinton, Mary, Dena, Jenny, Georgia, Judy, and Blaine. Lori adored her family and loved each and everyone of them. Lori's life revolved around her children, grandchildren, and the caf?. She built a family based on love and was the true Mom, and Mama, you cherish forever.
