Lori’s Obituary:
Lori Eileen Branson, 57, of Prior Lake went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, Sept. 29th with her loving husband by her side.
Lori was born Aug. 24th, 1966 in Coon Rapids to Carl(Benny) and Naomi Benson. She grew up in Burnsville and graduated from Burnsville High School. Lori attended Dakota County Vo Tech and worked at Blue Cross, Health Partners and 25 years at Allina Health as a medical coder.
Lori loved her family, friends, coworkers and sunflowers. She was a great planner- dance parties with her favorite "The 70's Magic Sunshine Band", social events and craft nights.
Lori and Pat met over Facebook thanks to numerous mutual friends. They were married 9 months later on June 11, 2022 and were inseparable. Lori was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and put up a valiant fight but God had bigger plans for her.
