On May 21, 2023, Lori Elsa Bontemps, 60, of Pompton Lakes, NJ (formerly of Tenafly) passed away
peacefully and journeyed onward to Heaven.
Lori was the beloved daughter of her late parents, Warren Daniel and Lois Elsa Bontemps. Besides her parents, Lori was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Benjamin and Martha Bontemps and her maternal grandparents, Claremont and Elsa Bodecker. She is survived by her adoring siblings, nieces, and nephews.
Lori was a dear sister to Jeff Bontemps (Ellen), Robert Bontemps, Sr. (Margaret) and Amy Hoffman
(Dave). She was a devoted aunt to Timothy (Kelley), Samantha, and Maggie Bontemps, Robert
Bontemps, Jr. (Meri) and Allison Hoffman.
Lori will be dearly missed and forever held tightly in the hearts of the family and friends she leaves
behind. Memories of her kind nature and sweet soul will always evoke smiles and bring comfort and
solace to all who were lucky enough to have known and loved her.
Lori's lifelong generosity will be honored with the donation of her corneas to give the gift of sight to
others.
A private service will be held at a later date.
