January 23, 2025 at 8:50 amI first met Lori Ann when I had her niece, Erin, in my 5th grade class at Sheridan Road School. Lori often volunteered in my classroom and chaperoned many field trips! She was also my Avon Lady for many years! She was a beloved “lunch lady” by many Sheridan Road students. I will miss catching up with her at Meijer!
