Lori L. (Smith) Patton , 58, of Woburn Massachusetts, passed away on February 17, 2025, at Lahey Clinic in Burlington.
Born on February 7, 1967, in Melrose, Massachusetts, Lori was the daughter of Charles and Beverly Smith. She graduated from Malden High School with honors in 1980. She spent many years as a resident of Manchester, NH before relocating to Massachusetts in 2014. Throughout her life, she worked with dedication across many occupations but loved life as a baker for Market Basket Supermarkets.
Although faced with challenges throughout her adult life, Lori never let her disability define her. She remained active and pursued her passions for crafting, coloring, painting, fishing, and fixing things. Her greatest joy, however, were her three sons: Justin Cooper, Kyle Patton; and Ryan Patton. A true enjoyer of all things junk food, she left a lasting impression on all she spent time with. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends; Shane and Walter Smith, her brothers, Betty McGrath and Kenneth Cooper, her lifelong friends, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A memorial gathering will be held to celebrate the life of Lori at Phaneuf Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street Mancheseter, NH on Thursday March 6, 2025 from 5 PM to 6 PM with a memorial service to follow at 6 PM.
