Elgin, Imbler, Cove and

at her daughter’s home in
La
Grande
after a long
battle with co-
lon cancer. A
memorial ser-
vice was held

Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
Known to most as Lori,

and Jackie Collinsworth.
She was the oldest of her
siblings: sisters, Cyna An-
derson and Nomi Wet-
ter, and brother, Matthew

you make it, and you can
change anything you’re not

with if you put in the work
and have the right attitude.
Lori was a kind, driven and
passionate woman in what-
ever she did. She always did
things with a full heart, the
best intentions and a smile.
She never did anything half-
heartedly.
Lori set a great example
to her daughters and ev-
eryone who knew her. She
went back to college to get
her bachelor’s degree and
nothing could’ve stopped
her from walking across the
stage with her best friend,
Amber. They made a plan
and Lori stuck with it even
though chemotherapy and
radiation treatments were
hard. She was inspirational
and touched the lives of ev-
eryone around her.
Lori found pleasure in
many things, especially
spending time with her
grandbabies and her fur ba-
bies. Her great danes were
her pride and joy, and she
took them everywhere with
her. She loved hiking and
camping, making memories
outside whenever possible.
Lori loved the ocean and
hunting for mushrooms and
horseback riding, spending
time with people and it was
important to her to spend
personal time with God.
Survivors include her
three daughters; 10 grand-
children; and several nieces
and nephews.
She was preceded in
death by her mother and
father, brother and grand-
parents, Dewey and Hattie
Anderson.
