She was born May 24, 1941 in Woodruff, WI, the daughter of Lewis and Rose (Behrend) Stone. Lori grew up in Lac Du Flambeau where she attended schools. She later attended WITC in Ashland where she received her CNA license.

As a young girl she enjoyed playing outside with her siblings and friends. She especially loved dancing and you could find her outside the little convenience store dancing to the music they played when she went shopping with her mother. She also became a babysitter to many of her nieces and nephews, She enjoyed watching them and caring for them. Watching them grow up and kept in contact with many of them.

Loreli worked as a nurses aide at various nursing homes, hospitals and peoples homes for over 30 years. She loved caring for people. She also sold Avon for many many years. She was a member of the Harbor Lights Baptist Church, her faith and Christian beliefs were very strong throughout her life.

She has many things she enjoyed. Camping with her husband was priceless time spent together. Music and dancing at every given opportunity. She loved plants, flowers, crocheting and needlepoint. She also loved being in the kitchen and cooking. Her potato salad and coleslaw were always requested at every picnic and church functions, along with her delicious thumb drop cookies. As kids we remember coming home from school to the smell of fresh baked bread. She was always very social and looked forward to seeing family and friends.
