Born on February 8, 1988, in Holland, MI to Eric and Julie Lynema. Lori served her community as a volunteer firefighter for Zeeland township for almost six years, answering the call with steady dedication and a generous spirit. In every setting—whether in service to others or in the quiet care of daily life—she was known for offering help with whatever was needed, giving of herself with sincerity and compassion.
Lori attended school for cosmetology and also worked in the medical field, bringing care and attentiveness to the people around her. At home, Lori found joy in gardening and in tending to her house plants. She had an incredible Green Thumb, nurturing life with patience and pride.
