1978
2014
Lori Hunter of Santa Clarita went to heaven Monday, January 13, 2014. At the age of 35, her final days were spent surrounded by her family and close friends.
She was born to Harold and Deborah Kay Conroy on December 2, 1978, in Van Nuys, Ca. Lori graduated from William S. Hart High School in 1996 and received a Bachelor of Science from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo in 2002. She married the love of her life Carl Hunter in 2002. They settled in San Pedro for a few years then moved to Santa Clarita in 2004 to raise their family.
Lori was a Structural Engineer for the past 11 years designing and engineering buildings in all shapes and sizes. For every project she was assigned, she put her whole heart into it and exceeded all expectations! That is the only way she knew how to work.
Lori's passion was to take photos at all events, she was the Family's photographer. Her hobby was scrapbooking and she used all her amazing photos for this. Lori cherished the time spent swimming in her pool, always trying new dives and flips off the diving board. Whenever there was time she enjoyed being in the presence of her family, whether it was camping at the sand dunes, lake trips, cross country excursions, amusement parks, watching movies or supporting her wonderful children, nieces and nephews at their sporting events. Lori was a devoted Christian and attended North Park Community Church every Sunday, inviting many of her friends and family to join her. Lori loved all holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas. Every holiday and season she threw the best parties including; our annual Mother's Day Tea party, Halloween costume parties and New Year's Eve celebrations. People left every party with great memories and fun stories to share. Lori's life seemed too short, but those around her were touched by her and know the quality of her life was greater than the quantity. Her courageous fight against breast cancer showed her strength, courage and sense of humor throughout it all.
Lori was survived by her husband Carl Hunter, their 3 children, Alex, Emily, and Aubrey; her parents, Harold (Butch) and Deborah Kay Conroy; her three sisters, Cindee Kay, April Helene, and Deborah Dawn; her grandmother Adele Conroy; two brothers-in-law, Chris and Ryan; Carl's parents, Kim Hunter and Lorraine Hunter; Carl's brother's Brian and Chad; her eleven nieces and nephews; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Memorial service will be at North Park Community Church,(28310 Kelly Johnson Pkwy, Valencia, Ca 91355) on Saturday, January 25, 2014 at 1pm. Celebration of Life will follow at the Rappleye home.
In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations be made out to Carl Hunter.

I hugged Lori tightly the last time I ever saw her in November. We had a heartfelt conversation about our children. She was so brave...opening up to me about how she was helping her three amazing kids deal with her illness. I did not know her well ....yet reading these entries I now understand why I cried upon hearing of her passing. I knew her but for a few months yet on some level I felt that warmth you all are describing in these beautiful tributes. Carl...please don't hesitate to reach out to us for anything you may need. Our hearts are broken for you and your kids.

I pray you find strength and comfort in memories of Lori's beautiful spirit and life. She so loved her family and was such an inspiration to all who knew her. She spoke from her heart and encouraged me as one of her TNBC sisters. I will remember her always.

All I can think to do is pray. I am almost frozen and without words. Dear God watch over the ones that Lori loved and the ones that loved her. Bless her and keep her until we see her again. Amen.

Lori was a rare woman with such spirit and passion. While we only met via internet as TNBC sisters.. her love for Carl and her adored children were clearly evident. I can see her orchestrating all of the great times with family and friends. Those photos are now even more of a treasure filled with loving memories of Lori.
Death cannot separate the deep love she has for you, Carl.. and of course your precious children.
While she's no longer with you in body, catch her spirit in the wispier of a cool wind and the beauty of a brilliant colored sunset.

I can see her orchestrating all of the great times with family and friends. Those photos are a treasure filled with loving memories of Lori. I pray they bring you solace in times of sorrow.
Death cannot really separate the deep love she has for you, Carl & your precious children. While she's no longer with you in body, catch her spirit in the whisper of a cool breeze and the beauty of a brilliantly-colored sunset.

I have so many fond memories growing up with you and your family. The Conroy's house was always the safe, happy and fun place to be. Even though years passed and we all grew up, it was so nice to see your FB and how the family values instilled in you, were shown in all YOUR family pictures. God has a beautiful angel looking over your entire family. May you rest in peace BEAUTIFUL. It would be an honor to celebrate at your service with all whom loved and cherished you.

Lori, what a sweet and precious woman you were and are. I still cannot believe that you are gone from this earth. You took a piece of our hearts with you. You will be sorely missed until we can see you again and you introduce us to Jesus and tell us all about how you've been spending your time with Him while you were away. Love,
Alicia
