Lori Federman Obituary
She leaves behind her family who loved her unconditionally, her husband Christian, the love of her life; children Paul (Lauren) Middleton of Yorkville, IL, Lauren (Adam) White of Wheaton, IL, Mark Brackett Jr. of Montgomery, IL, Cara (Matt Oltmann) Federman of Sugar Grove, IL; grandchildren Emma, Owen, Nolan, Sullivan, Mia, & Rayne; sister Carolyn (Charles) Thompson of Sugar Grove, IL, brothers Andrew (Carol) Minneci of Memphis, TN, Steven (Sherri) Middleton of Cottage Grove, TN, Robert (April) Middleton of Montgomery, IL, Michael (Lesa) Staley of Austin, TX, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and relatives. Lori was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Bruce Hanks.
Lori was a shining light to all that knew her. Her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor left a lasting impression on so many. Lori was committed to her personal growth and worked hard as an adult learner to receive her Associates Degree from University of Phoenix. Environmental consciousness was also very important to Lori. She worked tirelessly to reduce her carbon footprint and bring awareness to others about this cause. Lori also enjoyed creating jewelry and baking, but her greatest passion was being a Nana to her beautiful grandchildren. She found her greatest joy in being surrounded by her grandkids whether it was watching them play a sport they loved, learning about dinosaurs or Pokemon, or playing Barbie and watching Moana for the 100th time. She loved every single second she spent with them.
Lori will be forever remembered and missed by all who knew her, including many cousins, in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends. A celebration of life is scheduled May 22, 2021 to honor Lori. Memorial Service at 12:00 pm, Celebration of Life 1:00 pm - 4 pm, 46 Circle Drive W, Montgomery, IL 60538. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Lori, please consider making a donation to the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Foundation at http://cjdfoundation.org/donate.
