Lori-Lynn French, of Dallas, PA, formerly of Connecticut, passed away on Tuesday, December 16, at the age of 46, surrounded by her loving family.
Lori will be remembered for her boundless love and pride in her family. She cherished her husband of nearly 23 years, Paul, and their sons, Paul Jr. and Brian, who were the center of her world. Her devotion extended to her beloved pets, Max and Hazel, who brought her daily joy. Lori found happiness in gardening, bird and deer watching from her living room window, cooking, and especially cheering on her boys whether it be hockey or racing and offering support and encouragement. To meet Lori was to encounter kindness, and she left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She was an amazing and strong woman.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Leonard Bansavich III, whose memory she carried close to her heart. To mourn her loss, but cherish her memory, she leaves behind her husband, Paul; sons, Paul Jr. and Brian; parents, Lenny and Lori (Niver) Bansavich; mother-in-law and father-in-law Diane & Tony Morianos, sister, Victoria, and her husband, Matt Cavanaugh; her treasured niece, Lily, and nephew, Junior; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and her extended racing and hockey families.
