On December 6, 1986, she was united in marriage to Rodney Patterson. To this union was born two sons, Carter and Taylor.

Lori was just beginning another great job as a full-time grandmother to Emersyn, Asher, and Eva.

After family, Lori was so appreciative of the friendships she had developed throughout her lifetime. She had many friends because her memory never allowed her to forget any of them. She really appreciated her friends that were so close to her as she dealt with her cancer over the final year of her life.
