I am so very sad to hear of Lori's passing. She was definitely a character and always a barrel of laughs . remembering our company trip to NYC when we tried to jump on the train

I am so sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. My husband Edward worked with her at Elbit and I helped her and Dana get their home. She had the best laugh and quick humor. She was everything mentioned and I enjoyed getting to know her and Dana in their home journey. My prayers will be with Dana and the rest of her family and friends. We have moved away from the area but her and Dana were thought of often.

Our condolences and deepest heart felt sympathy goes out to Dana and the Kempf families. Lori was such a wonderful person. We worked together for many years and she was always there to help...especially with our expense reports. I enjoyed many years of bowling together on the Kollsman bowling league. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed all the years we were able to work together. She had the most infectious laugh of which I always enjoyed hearing.
RIP Lori.
You have touched so...

Lori P. Kempf, 64, of Manchester, NH, passed away August 16, 2025.
Lori was born on February 23, 1961, in Manchester, NH, the daughter of Paul E. and Jacqueline M. (Adams) Lamontagne. She was a lifelong resident of the Queen City.
A 1979 graduate of Manchester High School West, Lori devoted forty-two years to her career as an executive administrative assistant at Elbit Systems of America, where she was admired for her professionalism, dedication, and keen attention to detail.
Lori had a deep passion for adventure and exploring the world around her. She loved hitting the open road on long trips, discovering new places, and experiencing different cultures. Cruises and travel excursions brought her immense joy, as she delighted in the freedom of adventure and the memories made along the way. Lori was an enthusiastic member of the US Spyder Ryders, Merrimack Valley NH Chapter, a Can-Am Motorcycle riders group, where she found camaraderie and shared her love of the open road with fellow riders. She also had a creative side and found great joy in arts and crafts, bringing imagination and color into her life and the lives of those around her.
Affectionately known for having “40 personalities,” Lori was quirky, vibrant, and full of life, yet an introvert at heart. Her humor, warmth, and unique outlook left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She loved spending time with her family, especially Aiden, her dear friend Joyce Booraem, and her beloved dog, Clover. Her favorite character was Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, a testament to her tender heart and empathetic nature.
Family members include her beloved of thirty-nine years, Dana P. Kempf; a brother, David Lamontagne of Manchester; her sister, Lynn Kempf and her husband, Peter Kempf, of Manchester; her niece, Sara Coplan and her husband, Tyler; and her grandnephew, Aiden Coplan; and many dear friends.
