Lori Jeanette {Smith} Norris, 47, passed away on August 18, 2023 following an extended illness. Lori spent her final day surrounded by family with the excellent staff of University Hospital in Cleveland.
Lori was born on January 22, 1976 to Toni Lynn {Halliwell} Zenar and Ron Smith. She grew up and spent her early life in Doylestown, OH raised by parents Toni and Ron Zenar.
Lori is survived by her partner Thomas Ricciardi and sons Alex Keith and Gino Ricciardi, as well as three grandchildren - Grayson, Landon, and Liam; ex-husbands Davy Norris and Mike Keith; parents Toni and Ron Zenar; brother Greg (Yamaya) Smith; nieces Rhiannon and Ellison. She is forever remembered by her extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Lori was predeceased by father Howard (Ron) Smith and grandmother Evelyn Halliwell.
Born at Wadsworth-Rittman Hospital, Lori grew up in Doylestown and attended Chippewa High School and Wayne County Schools Career Center where she studied Cosmetology.
Lori was a hugger and cuddler—always making sure her family knew how much she loved them. She cared deeply for the people around her with kindness and compassion, even on her final day being more concerned for others than herself. In recent years Lori found Christ and took comfort knowing Jesus had her. She will be forever missed.
