Lori had a way of bringing joy into any room she walked into. She was very supportive of everyone, their dreams and their passions. Being a very spiritual person, if someone was down, she’d be the first to offer to pray with you. Music was a huge part of Lori’s life and her passion. She had an amazing voice and a gift for singing and harmonizing. She could play just about any instrument she picked up including guitar, bass and piano. Lori began playing with the family band, “The Roy Fuller Band” in high school and sang for many funeral and weddings over the years. She loved sharing her gift of music with everyone.
