Graduating from Brunswick High School in 1998, Lori followed her dream of helping others by becoming an LPN.

She was an avid fan of True Crimes, solving murder mysteries. Lori’s kids were her life, and she will never be forgotten.
She is survived by her three daughters: Abby Gerdes of Branson, Missouri, Katelynn Gerdes of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Lexi Gerdes of Tipton, Missouri; parents: Robert and Jeannie Kistler of Branson, Missouri; and sister, Robyn (John St. Lawrence) Kistler of Salisbury, Missouri.
