Motivated by her faith and dedication to helping others, Lora earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology, followed by a Master's degree from Kent State University.

On the morning of Friday, July 25, 2025, Lora peacefully transitioned to be reunited with her beloved mother, Alice; her dear brother, Kenny; and her cherished son, Jeremy.
