Lori Riddle, a lifelong lover of all four-legged creatures, music, and reading, died of natural causes on June 5 in Raleigh. She was 56 years old.
For 31 years, Lori was a career claims representative for Nationwide Insurance, and most recently, First Student. In 1996 she earned a BA in Justice and Public Policy from North Carolina Wesleyan College.
Lori is survived by her mother, Beverly Powell (John) of Blythewood, SC; her father, Alexander Riddle; her beloved aunts, Diane Wondisford and Linda Golding of New York, NY; her uncles Floyd Wondisford (Carol) of Brookfield, WI and Dr. Fredric Wondisford (Dr. Sally Radovick) of New Brunswick, NJ; and five cousins. She is predeceased by her grandparents, Dr. Harry and Mary Margaret Riddle of Gastonia, NC, and Floyd and Laura Wondisford, of Boardman, OH.
May all that is unforgiven in you Be released.
May your fears yield Their deepest tranquilities.
May all that is unlived in you Blossom into a future Graced with love.
~ John O’ Donohue

Miss Lori was a client of mine for 12 years. She was such a thoughtful, kind hearted person. I had the pleasure of doing her hair for many years and will deeply miss our talks and time together. My heart goes out to her family and sweet fur babies that she loved dearly. May her sweet soul rest in peace.

In the short time that I knew Lori, her kindness and love for animals simply melted my heart. We shared a similar love of all things furry and cuddly. A true and genuine heart of compassion! She is missed every day. May there be comfort to the family in knowing that Lori made her statement on the world by being such a kind person.
