Lori Hendrickson Obituary
Jan 19, 1959 - Oct 11, 2014
Lori was born in Seattle on January 19, 1959 to the late James David Arnold & Jacquelynn Alice (Hartley) Arnold Bushnell. Her earthly journey ended on October 11, 2014 and she has now been reunited with her partner, husband, and best friend Jim, to continue their journey together for eternity.
Lori spent the first 40 years of her life in the Seattle area. She attended Haller Lake Elementary, Thompson Junior High and graduated in 1977 from Ingraham High School. While working for the Washington State Bar Association as a receptionist, in 1979 she met the love of her life, James Oscar Hendrickson, when he was delivering office furniture for Boise Cascade Office Products. On January 29, 1982 Jim and Lori were married in Seattle and spent the next 17 years on Queen Anne Hill. While living in Seattle she worked for Principal Financial Group until the office closed in 1996 and then went on to a career at Premera Blue Cross.
In 1999 Jim & Lori moved to their piece of heaven on earth in Port Angeles where they spent many years fixing up their property and enjoying the peace and quiet that country living brought to their lives. Jim's journey on earth ended on January 14, 2013 two weeks prior to their 31st wedding anniversary, leaving a void in Lori's life that was never to be filled again.
Lori is survived by her siblings: Dean Louis (Jane Sepede) Arnold, Seattle WA; Dianne Arnold, Washington DC; Thomas Arnold, Louisiana; Suzanne (Kevin) Ducotey, Bothell WA and Daniel Arnold, Cle Elum WA. Nieces & Nephews: Kristofer, Kylur & Jordyn Ducotey, Zachary & Adrienne Arnold, Stephanie & Jonathan Arnold; Julia von Scheele, Stacy (Amanda) von Scheele, Susan (James) Monroe and Charles Finn. Great Nieces & Nephews: Brandon von Scheele, Austin Griggs, Gavin & Grace Monroe and Sophia von Scheele. Also surviving her are her sister-in-laws Julia (Richard) von Scheele and Patricia (Charles Richard) Finn, as well as Cynthia (Aunt Skinny) Diamond and multiple extended family members.
At Lori's request there will be no services. Memorial Donations can be made at Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County.

Lori was an important part of our team at Premera for many years. Her kindness and sense of humor will be greatly missed. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her and I'm glad I got to see her a few months ago.
