Lori A. Morgan, 58, a resident of Blue Springs, MO passed away peacefully Monday, June 20, 2022 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born September 7, 1963 in Birmingham, AL to Jimmy and Martha (Payne) Anderson.
She grew up in Pleasant Grove, AL with her four sisters and parents. She enjoyed playing softball, getting her hands dirty, and perfecting her southern twang. She married the love of her life on July 10, 1993 and they started their journey in Peoria, Illinois.

She was kind-hearted, loyal, selfless, and most of all tenacious. She could take a grain of salt and walk on water with it. Her beautiful legacy will live on through all the lives she touched.

I always looked forward to visiting the family with parents As Teachers. Our visits were so much fun and the family shared so much love for each other! Some people just stick to you! I loved visiting with Lori as the kids grew. She was such a committed wife and mother. RIP my friend.
My prayers go out to all of her family. Lori was a special person and her kindness knew no limits. It was a privilege to be her neighbor for all these years. I will miss her smile and southern twang. She would do anything for anyone at any time. So sorry for your loss.
Lori was the sweetest, kindest, most friendly person. She always made a point to say something or do something to make everyone around her feel good. We are so blessed to have known her, and our world is a better place because she was here. Our hearts and our prayers are with each of you.
There’s not enough adjectives to describe Lori. I was lucky to have met her through MOPS and at church. She was so proud of their three amazing kids and always asked about my son. She talked about Roswell with a twinkle in her eye. Lori =Love
My deepest sympathies in the loss of your wife and mother. I just had the opportunity earlier this year to meet y’all when you came to Alabama for Jacob Bailey’s wedding. That encounter touched my heart and soul. I felt the love and care that you had for one another. I will be praying for you – that your hearts and minds will be filled with your happy memories – those prior to her decline in health. She is whole again and in our loving Savior’s arms. May He comfort you as you grieve her loss.
Sending my love and sympathy to all of Lori’s family. Please know that you will be in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. She was such a dear!!! My prayers will be the family during this most difficult time.
Lori was such a joy to know. Sending sincere sympathy to her dear family.
Lori and I cheered together in 1977. She was such a sweet soul and a joy to be around. Condolences to her family. Saying a prayer for all whose life she touched.
I’ve known Lori since she was born in Birmingham, AL. She has always been so sweet and loving, even from an early age. My heart goes out to her family and to her extended family at this time. God is Good. God is Love. He will take care of her.
We pray God wraps his loving arms around you to carry you through the difficult days ahead. And may your precious memories hold Lori close in your hearts. God bless you all.
Rozie and family, George and I were so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Praying for strength and peace as you all go through this very difficult time.
George & Lynn Anderson
I met Lori in 1979 not long after starting college with her sister, Patty, I remember Lori’s fun, sweet personality and her love of family most of all. I knew she’d be a great wife and mom one day, and she certainly was. I also remember her being a very hard worker at everything she did.
Words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of her passing. I know she is now totally pain-free and in the presence of our Lord. I can only imagine the joy of seeing her mama and daddy again, and nephew Brock.
I am praying for the peace of God to surround the entire family now and in the days to come. I know God will keep her in His perfect love until we see her again.
Such a heartbreaking loss for your family. Trusting that your memories of Lori will keep you strong. Lori was loved and will be missed by so many. ❤️
Lori had a heart of gold.
Sending prayers for her family.
Our heartfelt sympathy to your whole family—you are all in our prayers! Lori was the kindest and most generous woman. Our family was blessed to know her through all our years of kids playing soccer together!! Praying for your peace as she now continues to take care of her family in heaven!
