For many years, Lore worked as a dental assistant and office manager, where her meticulous nature and strong work ethic shone through. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Lore was known for her vibrant personality. She was strong-willed, direct, and outspoken, always protecting those she loved with fierce loyalty. These traits made her a cherished figure not just at home but also in the various community roles she embraced.

Lore's passion for community engagement was evidenced by her proudest accomplishments, which included serving as the past President of the Board of Aldermen in Manchester and running for Mayor of Manchester.

Her family remembers the joyful moments they shared, including fun day trips to Elephant Rock Park, Mark Twain Lake, and Eckert's Orchard. She taught her family how to water ski, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and adventure. Lore had a love for the arts and enjoyed attending performances at the Muny, where she could appreciate the talent and creativity of those around her.

In addition to her fulfilling career and community involvement, Lore was a talented seamstress, and enjoyed crafting and going dancing. She cherished cooking and found immense happiness when family and friends gathered to enjoy her meals. Her love extended to the dogs she cared for over the years, with her most recent companions, Sunday and Maddie, holding a special place in her heart.

Lore is survived by her sons, Timothy Clinton (Melissa) Crowe and Thomas (Elizabeth) Crowe; and her grandchildren, Ellie J. Crowe, Harry C. Crowe, Silas C. Crowe, Owen C. Crowe, and Shelby A. Crowe.
