Our inspiring and loving wife, mother and grandmother, Lori Dell O'Dell returned to her Heavenly Father on Monday, March 14 2016, at age 61. She passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family and close friends after a courageous 5 yr battle with cancer, in which she fought until the very end.

She was sealed to her "sweetie" in the Bountiful Utah Temple for time and all eternity on November 29, 2003.

Lori was a member of the LDS church. She loved the Gospel so much and served as the Relief Society President, Young Women’s Camp Director, Young Women’s Presidency, served in the nursery, but her favorite calling was the one she held when she passed away serving as the Sunbeams Teacher. She always talked about how much she loved those kids and how happy their smiles made her. Lori and Kim tried to visit the Temple at least once a week every Saturday. She loved to serve her Heavenly Father.
Lori loved butterflies, moose and owls. Her favorite color was blue and that explains why she loved going outside under the clear blue skies, riding bikes, taking walks and going to the cabin with her sweetie. She had a special place in her heart for her family whether they were her own family or her step families it never mattered to her. She said it was an honor to help support her Grandson Elder Austin Brewer on his current LDS mission. She always thought of others before herself. She had a special place in her heart and built a special relationship with her granddaughter Shawnee Loree Brewer whom is named after her, Shawnee has often said Grandma Lori is her very best friend.
