Lori Simonson Obituary
Lori Ann Simonson, age 62, of Eagan, passed away peacefully Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at her apartment in Eagan.
Lori was born January 20, 1963, to Edward Dvorak and Lorraine (Kensy) Hanson in St. Paul. She graduated from Highland High School in 1981 and made many life-long friends along the way. She worked at Boston Scientific for 34 years where she met many friends that she considered family.
She was always very close to her older siblings Donald and Carol. Lori was married for 24 years to Brad until 2019 but remained good friends. Watching their son Matthew grow up was one of her greatest joys in life.
Lori is survived by her son, Matthew Simonson; her brother, Donald Dvorak; nephew, Bill Wicht; nieces, Lindy Mcloskey and Michelle Cobenais, and many cousins.
Lori was preceded in death by her parents Edward Dvorak and Lorraine Hanson, and sister Carol Johnson.
