Lori Ann (Hagy) Baldwin

April 28, 1973 - September 25, 2025

Lori Baldwin, 52, passed away peacefully at her home in Ocean View, Delaware, surrounded by her family.

A graduate of Oxford Area High School in Oxford, PA, Lori worked as a bindery line assistant operator at R.R. Donnelley in Lancaster, PA, for 15 years. Later, she found joy in roles as a graphics installer, primarily on large boats, a bartender, a cook, and her favorite, pet sitting and dog walking. Lori was fiercely loyal to all the people she loved. She bravely fought cancer with the same grit as the Philadelphia Flyers fan that she was. Her love of music took her to many concerts and music festivals over the years. Lori lived and loved loud and large but could be as soft and sweet as the many kittens she rescued.

Lori is survived by her father, Richard C. Hagy (fiancée, Loretta) of Landenberg, PA; her mother and stepfather, Carol and James Byrd of Ocean View, DE; and her brother, Paul P. Hagy (Michelle). She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces, Lael, Lanae, Mary, and Aniyah; her nephew, Devion; and her beloved cat, Gina.

She was predeceased by her son, Christopher Paul Hagy.

A private Life Celebration for Lori will be held at a later date.

Donations in Lori's name can be made to the Brandywine Valley SPCA, 22918 DuPont Blvd., Georgetown, DE 19947 or by visiting www.bvspca.org .
