Lori Ann Turner

Lori Ann Turner, a beacon of laughter and creativity, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025, at the age of 66 in Albany, Oregon. Born on September 30, 1959, in Salem, Oregon, Lori's life was a tapestry of vibrant colors and warm memories, woven with love, humor, and kindness.
Lori's journey began as the cherished daughter of Richard and Darline Schlegel. Her childhood in Salem was filled with the nurturing of her innate talents and the joy of family life. As she blossomed into a remarkable woman, her path led her to the love of her life, Paul Turner. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together, they welcomed their daughter, Richelle Lamp, who would become one of Lori's greatest joys.
A devoted mother and later a doting grandmother to Colton and Kimber Lamp, Lori's legacy of love and laughter will live on through her family. Her presence was a warm embrace, her laughter a melody that resonated in the hearts of those she loved.
Lori's creative spirit found expression in her passion for crafting and painting. Each brushstroke and carefully chosen embellishment was a reflection of her artistic vision and the joy she found in creating beauty in the world. Her works were not merely objects of art but extensions of her generous and kind-hearted nature.
Those who knew Lori will remember her as the embodiment of joy and kindness. Her humor was a gift that she shared freely, bringing light into the lives of all who were fortunate enough to cross her path. Her creativity was not confined to her art but was evident in her approach to life's challenges, always finding a way to paint a silver lining on the clouds of adversity.
As we bid farewell to Lori Ann Turner, we celebrate a life well-lived, a heart well-loved, and a spirit that will continue to inspire. Her memory will be cherished, her laughter will echo in our stories, and her kindness will be the benchmark by which we measure our own actions. Lori's life was a masterpiece, and though she has left us, the beauty she created and the love she gave will endure forever
