Lorraine A. Carr, 57 of Peoria, passed away at 11:00 pm, Monday, January 1, 2018 at OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home in Peoria. She was born on October 11, 1960 to Robert T. and Sumi (Mori) Carr in Peoria. She married her longtime partner, Lynn Decker in July of 2015 in Peoria. She survives.

She was a Courier at FedEx for 21 years, last working in May 2017. She had previously worked as a baker for Thompson Food Basket for 18 years, starting right out of high school. Lori was an excellent fisherman and enjoyed camping. She was a very talented cook, and loved to have big fish fries. She had an ornery sense of humor and was famous for delivering witty one liners at any occasion. She loved family and friends and didn't hesitate to help them with projects...fixing anything...she was our MacGyver. Her patience was her virtue, her sense of humor one of her greatest qualities. She treasured her dogs, and all animals.
