Lori Ann Zacher

I miss Fick. One of my memories is when she brought one of her kids to visit with me at ASU in Tempe. It meant so much to me that she cared enough about her old coach that she wanted me to meet her kid. She always made me smile and when I think if her now I still smile because she made a lasting impact on everyone she met.
She was a great player for me at Creighton but an even better Mom and person. Always thinking of you Fick. Your Coach forever,Ray

I think of Lori and how caring she was. I am happy that we can continue to get together with her parents. She will always be a part of our lives.

I think of Fick all the time. She is a gift to the world. She cared about everyone and she gave her all in everything she did. I am so grateful to have been a small part of her life.

I think of Fick, often and every time I do I smile. I was lucky enough to coach her and see the affect she had on people. I swear there was not a person she ever met that did not become her friend in some way. She gave more to this earth than many that have lived twice as long. I miss you, Fick. Be well up there, Ray.

I worked with Keith for many years in surgery at Osborn. It was the highlight of my professional career and he spoke often and fondly of his wife and family. I am so sorry for your loss Dr Z. May your wife Rest In Peace in God's love and light.

Dear Zacher Family -

Lori was such a blessing in our lives and she will be deeply missed. She was always humble and kind and always had a smile on her face. We are thankful to have known her and we love you.

Keith and family,
Lori was a ray of sunshine to all of us on the tennis team. We played together when our kids were young. She was a joy to be around and I am grateful for having known her. We were both from Nebraska and although I haven't seen her in recent years, her friendship and giving spirit made a lasting impact on me. She was so special and a friend to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know her spirit will live on in your hearts.

Keith, Matthew, Megan & Tommy and family

Dear Zacher family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Loris passing. I knew her through tennis and she was always so sweet, kind, and fun on the court. She was a wonderful example of sportsmanship and class. She will be greatly missed by all who came into contact with her.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Keith and children,
I know that there are no words to take your pain away right now. Jay and I met Lori (and I met you Keith) for the first time maybe 15 years ago at a dinner party hosted by the Byrnes. Jay and I both found Lori to be simply delightful and just a beautiful soul. I wish our paths would have crossed again. My children and I are so very sorry for your loss. You have been on my mind since I heard the news and my heart is breaking for you and your children. Remember her, celebrate her, and always continue to say her name! You will never understand why this happened, but I hope you can find peace and comfort in the love you had and the memories you share.

Dear Zacher Family,

Our hearts are hurting for all of you. Lori was a beautiful person in every way. Selfless and loving, she always made everyone feel important. Her spirit will live on in so many through wonderful relationships she created. We pray for all of you as you go through this extremely difficult time and always.

Mark and Kathy Stieg

Dear Keith, Matthew, Megan and Tommy,
Lori will always have a special place in our hearts. She was a true friend and kind soul. She lives on in each of us with her vibrant energy and love of life. We will miss her but she will never be forgotten. You will be in our prayers always.

Keith,

We were just heartbroken when we heard about Lori's passing ... we're at a loss for words. The tributes from her friends and family are so beautiful. Todd and I are thinking of you and your sweet kids, the dear Fickenshers and everyone who loved her so much!

I am a member of the Phoenix Jewish community. Although I never met you or your family, my heart ached as I read your obituary for your beloved Lori. That being said, I'd like to share the following Hebrew proverb with you and yours during this time of your loss and anguish:

"Say not in grief that she is no more, but in thankfulness that she was".

May your broken hearts find healing in your cherished memories and eternal love for Lori as you continue through the grieving process.

Dear Keith and kids, We were so saddened to hear of the loss of Lori. She was such a kind and thoughtful person and our prayers go out to you and family.
The Koester family

Our condolences on the loss of a wonderful wife, mother and friend.

Keith, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Lori was always so kind and such a wonderful hostess. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Keith, Mathew, Megan and Tommy,

We have many fond memories of Lori that go back for a decade. Lori was always engaging to our entire family -- all our kids enjoyed seeing Lori when we would see her on the sidelines of life. We always celebrated our August 12th birthdays! Although our paths didn't cross as often as in the past -- when we did connect -- she always took time to stop and catch up asking about each of our kids. She was taken too soon and her legacy will shine through all of you.......Andreens are here if you need anything!

Fick was a dream to coach at Creighton. She gave her all every day and was loved by everyone. We were so lucky to have her on our team and in our life.
I will always remember her boundless energy and her magnificent humility.
I know she made a lasting impact in this world with everyone she met.

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am to hear of Lori's passing. She was always so nice and fun to be around and talented at everything she did. I am praying for your family to find some peace and comfort during this difficult time. She will be greatly missed. I knew Lori from Gymnastics in Omaha and was glad we had a chance to reconnect 2 summers ago at a reunion.

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

I always loved seeing Lori around St. Theresa and hanging out with her at various parties. Always smiling. Always fun to be around and never a mean word towards anyone. It's imposdible to imagine her not being around anymore. I'll miss her greatly. My deepest prayers for peace and comfort go to the kids and Keith right now. There are just no words to express the pain for a loss like this. ❤

To Lori's family, Keith and all the Zacher.

I am so sorry for your loss. Lori must have been a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.
Our family lived on East Pierson across the street from the Zacher family for many years and became very close.
All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Many blessings.

Keith and Zachers,

I was so sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Lori. I only had the opportunity to briefly meet her on my AZ visits over the years, but it was obvious she was a beautiful, graceful, genuine woman, wife and loving mother.

I send love to all of you and the children. I know she is peaceful with your mom, watching over all of you.
