LORI NEWCOMB Obituary

NEWCOMB--Lori. OCRA mourns the loss of our beloved board member and friend, Lori Newcomb. We are profoundly grateful for her vision and dedication in creating Newk's Cares along with her loving husband, Chris, to support ovarian cancer research through their family business, Newk's Eatery. Her unwavering and selfless commitment to help other women and to find a cure for this terrible disease is a testament to her incredible character. And her feisty, funny and infectious personality that shined so brightly will be sorely missed. Lori's dedication and work to end ovarian cancer will live on through her legacy and will one day ensure that no other woman has to endure this terrible disease. Sending our love to Chris, Madison Blair and Hayes.

Lori was like a sunflower.

Her smile was as big as a fully blooming sunflower.
Like a sunflower, standing tall and looking up the shinny sky in Mississippi summer.

Even when she was battling her sickness, she was never shy about expressing her genuine appreciation for our service.

I will miss her smile and her friendly husky voice.

we will meet her at the heavens gate.

The Finelli family sends our heartfelt prayers and thoughts to Chris, Madison, Blair, and Hayden on their loss.
Lori was truly a "class act" and anyone who met her learned a lot about life; especially how to treat others and how to stay positive despite facing tremendous adversity.
I consider myself fortunate to have known her.
God bless the Newcomb and Ruffin families and God Speed to Lori.
Love,
Michael, Denise, Anthony and Elena
