Lori Jobson
With broken hearts we are sad to say that we have lost a beautiful soul. Lori fought so hard to stay with us in this world, but sadly this was a battle she could not win.
Lori had a zest for life and lived for adventure and travel along with fun times with close friends. She packed in what she could in a life cut way too short.
Lori was born Oct 1, 1971 and was raised in a tight knit farming family in Ft Qu’Appelle. Not one to be left behind, she kept up with her older brothers whether it was following them dirt biking with her moped or taping pillows to her body to be their goalie. Lori was always the den mother for her puppies and rabbits and other pets on the farm.
After graduating high school in Saskatoon she moved to Edmonton and began work at College Copy. After awhile Lori returned to school and completed her nursing degree at NAIT. While a nursing student, Lori met Pat Stevens who became her soul mate and best friend. Together they put down roots in Edmonton. They enjoyed travelling, camping and had many adventures, always having fun being together and with their many friends they made over the years.
Lori dedicated her professional life to the Royal Alexander and the University of Alberta Emergency Departments as a registered nurse. There she made many life long friendships. She was so touched when co-workers reached out and helped during her hospital stays and gave heartfelt thanks.
Lori had a gift to get to the heart of the matter with directness and levity. There was never any beating around the bush with her. Lori touched so many lives, she had a huge heart and a generous spirit that never liked to see anyone go without and was always there to help out anyone in need. She leaves behind a void in our lives and will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
Lori is survived by her husband Pat, their two bulldogs Sherman and Olive, along with their two cats Spartan and Tuna; her mother Mariann, brothers Dwayne (Suzanne) and Dean; and nephews Tanner, Zane and Brandon; mother-in-law Noreen Bortis and many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. Lori was predeceased by her father Stuart who she missed everyday.
Our cherished memories of Lori will live on forever in our hearts and souls.

I went to school with Lori in Lanigan. We always had so much fun when we were together. I spoke with her briefly last week so I was shocked when I read that she had passed away. I always wanted to see her again but sadly that will never happen now.
She will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Very sorry to hear this news. Lori was a much-loved member of the Emergency Department at the University Hospital. My deepest sympathies to Pat, her family, and our staff for this loss.
Lori was an absolute gem…a friend and mentor. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her at the UAH ED. Although it had been several years since we worked together, our friendship continued across the miles. I will miss our chats. My deepest condolences to Pat and family.
I enjoyed working with Lori in the Emergency. My condolences to all that knew and loved her.
Lori showed us all how to live with love, dignity, positivity, and a wicked sense of humour. She embraced everyone. She always made a room brighter when she entered it. I am so fortunate to have worked with Lori at the UAH emergency. Ride on, sweet lady. Ride on. Pat and family, know that Lori’s tribe stands behind you too. Please reach out. With love and respect.
Oh Dickers I’m going to miss you. Just like me – tough on the outside and mushy on the inside. You had a big, beautiful heart and I’m so happy I got to see that. Your sarcastic wit was on par with me. You touched people. That is so apparent by the lovely tributes to you and your many friends and co-workers grieve along with your family. I wear the badge you gave with my pride. I will always be your Sherri. See you on the other side.
I am sorry to hear about Lori and send my condolences to Pat and her family. Lori will be missed dearly.
Lori was a wonderful person, nurse and mentor. I worked with her when she was Unit Manager on trauma at the UAH. She was always so supportive and kind to me. Lori will be missed.
So sorry for your loss Mariann. Just looking at Lori’s picture I saw both you and Stuart in her. I’m guessing she had her Daddy’s mischievous eyes and I can tell she probably lit up every room she walked into. Take care of “you” Mariann. Thinking of you!
I was most fortunate to have Lori as my grad nurse and friend. You were loved my friend.
We send along our deepest sympathies. This truly is a loss. Pat, you are in our prayers.
Dear Mariann, Mom and I send you and your family our deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear Lori. Thinking of you, and praying for you all.
