Obituary of Lori Ann May

Lori Ann Missler was born on November 6, 1958. She was one of four children born to the union of Arnold and Carol (Roe) Missler. After completing her high school general equivalency, Lori attended college courses to receive her Home Healthcare Certification. She was employed as a home healthcare aide at various nursing homes in Monroe County. Lori also worked at Mac Valves and Barger Petroleum gas station in Dundee, Michigan for a short time.

On October 19, 1996, Lori wed the love of her life, Jeffrey May, at St. John Lutheran Church in Dundee. The couple crossed paths six years earlier after a chance encounter at Carl’s Hideaway restaurant in Ida, Michigan. Inseparable, they were the best of friends and created many wonderful memories together. Camping at Trout Lake, Michigan was a frequent and favorite destination.

Lori enjoyed relaxing with a good romance or western novel. She also tuned into classic Western television programs such as “Gunsmoke”, “The Rifleman”, and “Bonanza”. A firecracker, Lori had a big personality and a wicked sense of humor.
