Lori Dutcher Obituary
Great Falls - Lori (Kirk) Dutcher and her husband, Tom, were found passed away in their home on Thursday, July 9, 2020. They were married in December of 1994, and Tom helped raise his stepdaughter, Crystal Warner.
Lori was born to Martin Edward and Frances Joan (Devereux) Kirk in Omaha, NE on November 4, 1957. She was the 3rd of 7 children.
She enjoyed helping with the elderly and worked as a certified nursing assistant, a housekeeper, and a dietary assistant at medical facilities in Great Falls. She also took great pride in being a substitute teacher at Centerville.
Lori never met a stranger; she loved to socialize, make friends, and make people laugh. She enjoyed the outdoors, cooking, and coloring on her smartphone (there's an app for that)!
She is survived by her daughter, Crystal; grandchildren, Payten and Cooper of Black Eagle; brother, Tim "T.K" (Delores) Kirk of Vaughn; oldest sister, Michele "Mickey" (Gary) Fliginger of Belt; younger sisters, Mary (Jim) Terry of Billings, Julie (Roy) Back of Great Falls, Vikki (Pat) Gilmore of San Antonio, TX; many nieces; nephews; great-nieces; and great-nephews.
She was preceded in death by her older brother, Jeff; her mother, Joan; and her father, Ed.
