Lori Ann Carpenter passed away on Monday April 29, 2019 at the age of 57. She was the daughter of JoBeth and Robert Serafin of Kansas City, KS and the sister to Mark and Brian. She married her best friend and high school sweetheart, Jimmy Carpenter, in 1985. They made their home in the Denver Metro area and had their beautiful daughter, JoEllen, in 1989.
Lori was a general manager at Wendy's for over 20 years until she retired in 2012. She was passionate about customer service and making a connection with everyone that she worked with. Lori lived her life by the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Lori loved the ocean, the sound of the waves, and putting her feet in the sand. She loved camping and the outdoors, bingo, collecting wizards, crocheting, as well as puzzles and word games. She was an avid reader of Danielle Steel, and was well on her way to owning every book the author wrote.
Lori is survived by her husband Jim, daughter and son-in-law, JoEllen (Michael) Schreiber, two furry grand-babies, River and Odin, her father, Robert, brother Brian (Tracy) Serafin, and sister-in-law April Serafin. Lori will be joining her mother JoBeth, brother Mark, babies (Toes, Fido and Jackson) in heaven, along with many other family and friends gone too soon.
Celebration of life will be held at Ken Caryl Ranch House – Shaffer Room, 7676 S. Continental Divide Road, Littleton, CO 80127 from 12:30pm to 6pm on June 1st, 2019. Flowers, donations and condolences can be offered at that time if chosen. Any donations will be given to the PKD Foundation in her name. Lori will be laid to rest at a later date at Fort Logan National Cemetery.
