Lori Ann Yates passed away the morning of June 18. 2024.at the age of 57 at Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge, Colorado surrounded by her children after a very sudden decline in health.

Lori was born August 30, 1966 in Michigan. She was a beloved mother to Chris and his spouse Jen, Tony, Nick and his spouse Shay. She was also a loving grandmother to Bailey, Lexi, Chloie, Jordan & Riley. Lori had the biggest heart and most beautiful smile. She was a private and quiet person but also so witty and fun. She was fearless and independent, yet sensitive and incredibly passionate.

Lori lived her life to the best way she knew possible. She was very involved in her work as a restaurant manager at Great Scott's, but she always made time for her family and close friends. She found peace in wolves, angel wings, dream catchers and the color purple.

She was always so full of love and light for her family and those around her. Her warmth was our light in the dark. She never stopped smiling even in the hardest moments. Everyone who met her, immediately fell in love with her personality. We all know how special she was and we will miss her greatly.
