It is with deep sadness that we announce the death Lori Lynn Salfi (nee Higginson) on Monday, July 29, 2024. Loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and grandmother.

The Salfi family

Lori taught 2 of my children at WOM and I also taught there. Lori’s sharp wit and offbeat sense of humour were well known. I’d often crack up as she whispered something humourous to me as we passed one another in the hall. Sitting beside her in the staff room always guaranteed some laughs.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of Lori’s family on the loss of a lovely person. She certainly will be missed.

Dearest Barb and family,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
I am heartbroken to hear about the passing of your beloved sister, Lori.
I am thinking of you and your family at this very difficult and sad time.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lori through her sister, Barb. A friendship developed and we shared many common interests. I truly enjoyed spending time with Lori exploring nooks and crannies of the Ottawa Valley, having dinners with the gals, looking for Monarch butterfly caterpillars every fall, taking summer workshops/courses and just enjoying each other's company. Lori was a gentle and kind soul who had a wonderful sense of humour. She was a special gal and I will miss her friendship. May she rest in light and eternal peace. I am sending heartfelt condolences to Lori’s family and may your cherished memories help guide you through these difficult times.

The Salfi and Higginson families

Thinking of Lori, I am most reminded of the times my family shared with her family when we were young children. The trip to see Grandma and Grandpa Higginson in Winnipeg is one of my most cherished childhood memories. Later in life, I spent a few years living in Ottawa and I was able to see Lori and family much more. Those years, when we were so young, just starting our careers and just beginning to understand how important family and friends are in life, is the way I wish we could all enjoy life…always. Lori’s quick wit, her sense of humour and her genuine laugh always made me smile. She possessed such a positive attitude and I recall how much of an impression she left on me because of the type of person she was. I know she will be deeply missed by all of you and by her close friends. It’s tough to find a nicer, more sincere and happy person than Lori. I hope she has found peace and can continue to spread her wonderful humour among others through her spirit. I will always remember her with admiration and fondness.
