Posted

On Wednesday, June 17, 2020, Lori Ann McSweeney, loving wife and mother of five children, passed away at the age of 57.

She was born on Jan. 9, 1963 in Globe, Ariz. to Lyman and Janice Peace and was the middle child of three siblings.

Lori had a passion for helping anyone and everyone that she met; she never met a stranger and countless stories can be shared about her ability to befriend anyone and be a mother to all. She dedicated her life to supporting and raising her family; whether biological, adopted, or those of her heart. She was an avid animal lover and would love and care for any creature. Lori was known for her quick wit, her infectious laugh, and her kind and helping spirit. She may have been born in a small city, but she had a heart the size of the whole country.

Lori was preceded in death by her father Lyman, her mother Janice, and her brother Bill. She is survived by her husband Neil (Tony) McSweeney, her children Heather Walker, Holli Naquin, Kaden Peace McSweeney, and Julie Peace, her six grandchildren Cristina Castro, Kyndal Peace, Hazen Duarte, Josiah Duarte, Nataleigh Roten, and Audrena Roten, her brother Mark Peace and several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Due to the current Pandemic, a service and reception will be planned in Globe, Ariz. in the coming months.
