O’ROURKE: Lori Ann of Lucan

December 17, 2021 By Haskett Funeral Homes 48 Condolences

O’ROURKE: Lori Ann of Lucan

At Jessica’s House, Exeter on Thursday, December 16, 2021 in her 63rd year. After a courageous battle with cancer, Lori was welcomed in the arms of her father John Drury (1994) and her son Christopher Morgan (2017). Lori is survived by her husband John O’Rourke of 27 years and her sons Johnathan Morgan (Brandi) and Michael O’Rourke (Laura). She was a proud grandma of Ashley (Dennis), Mathew (Megan), Emily (Elliot), and Ally. Adored great grandma of Kaitlin, Jonathon, Addie, Brantley, Riley, and Christopher.

She will be greatly missed by her mother Helen Drury and her siblings Joreen Drury, Les and Joanne Drury, Bonnie and the late Craig Raney (2021), and Darlene and Bill Renning. Lori will be fondly remembered by her many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews as well as the O’Rourke and Morgan families. She will also be missed by her many friends and patrons to her salon in Lucan and her little pal “Chico”.

Cremation with a family interment at the Parkhill Cemetery at a later date.  Lori’s family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff and volunteers of Jessica’s House for their kind and compassionate care of Lori during her final days. If desired, memorial donations to Jessica’s House would be greatly appreciated by the family.

    Helen, Jonathon, Joreen, Les, Bonnie and Darlene, and families, I was saddened to hear about Lori’s passing. I haven’t seen Lori for quite awhile, but my warm memories of her will be forever in my mind. We were sister in laws for a long time,, and I seldom saw Lori without a smile. I know she had many hurdles in life that she always managed to get past,, but I know that it hadn’t been easy for her. Her battle with cancer was just the one hurdle that she couldn’t get over or around. Losing a loved one is so hard,, but it must be reassuring to know that John and Chris were waiting for Lori to come “home” and are there to guide her where she needs to be. Don and I want you all to know, that you are in our hearts and thoughts during this most emotional, difficult time. Hugs to you all.

    Helen, Jonathon, Joreen, Les, Bonnie and Darlene, and families.. I am so saddened to hear about Lori, I haven’t seen Lori much over the years,, but we sure spent many years as sister in laws before that. She was always friendly and always with a smile. It is comforting to know that she is now up there with John,, and Chris,, and they were there to ease her transition home to be with them. Lori has had many struggles in her life,, but she dealt with them and carried on the best she could. But cancer is one struggle that so many cannot beat,, and unfortunately, Lori was not an exception to this horrible disease. Don and I both want you all to know we are thinking of you,, and are so sorry that Lori had to suffer through this, and now the suffering is amongst her family. Hugs to you all,, you are in our thoughts and hearts during this very emotional time.
