Lori was born in Fond du Lac, Wis., on Aug. 7, 1959, to Francis “Babe” and Nancy Schroeder. Lori graduated from Mason City High School in 1977. After years of working, Lori~s love of learning brought her back to school where she received a degree in criminal justice from Hamilton College in 2004. Lori~s fantastic work ethic led to long tenures with both Ron Weber and Associates and I.C. Systems; both formerly located in Mason City.
Lori loved to read and was known to re-read her favorite book, The Secret History, at least once a year. In addition to reading, Lori loved music, especially Bruce Springsteen who she saw in concert numerous times. Lori also enjoyed keeping up on current events and trials from around the world. If she wasn~t doing one of these things, she could be found snuggling with her cat Lola, enjoying a cold Fresca, and watching Turner Classic Movies.
Lori was an active member of the Democratic Party as well as a member of the ASPCA and the World Wildlife Fund.
