She was born and raised in Scranton, and was the daughter of Diane Fahey Tucker and the late Francis “Brud” Fahey. Lori was a member of St. Ann’s Basilica, Scranton.

Lori loved cooking, baking and working in her beautiful garden, alongside her faithful companions, (her Shih-Tzus) Hercules and Peewee, who will forever be by her side. Before her illness, Lori loved to entertain, especially for the holidays. Her beautiful dinners and scrumptious cookies will be missed.
