With hearts that will never be the same, we share the passing of Lori Lynne Siegel, 64, a woman whose spirit was as fierce as it was beautiful. Lori wasn’t just the life of the party—she was the heartbeat of her family. She laughed loud, loved deeply, and fought fiercely for the people and the beliefs she held close. If Lori loved you, you felt it. If she believed in something, she stood her ground with strength and fire.
Lori poured her entire soul into her family. For 43 years, she shared an unshakeable, once-in-a-lifetime love with her husband, William Siegel. She was a devoted mother to Richard (Danielle), Jeremy, and Kathryne (Michael); a loving daughter to Richard and Nancy Bordeaux; and a proud sister and aunt whose loyalty ran deep.
Her greatest pride was being Nana. Her grandchildren—Johnathon, Owen, Lawrence, Raelynn, and Jaxtyn—were her joy, her purpose, and her softest place to land. She adored them with a love that had no limits.
Lori had an artist’s hands and a warrior’s heart. She created beauty wherever she went—whether through her artwork, her humor, or the way she could lift a room with a single smile. She fought through every challenge with courage, and she never stopped showing up for the people she loved.
Her absence leaves a hole that nothing can fill. But her fire, her love, her laughter, and her unbreakable spirit will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who was blessed to know her.
