A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
august 29, 1954 – june 28, 2025
Lori Sue Collier, born on August 29, 1954, in Cincinnati, Ohio, left this world peacefully on June 28, 2025. She lived a life filled with love, dedication, and cherished memories, primarily as a devoted homemaker and a nurturing presence in her family.
Lori took great joy in her children’s activities, often volunteering at school concession stands, where her warm smile made a lasting impression on both kids and parents alike. Her nurturing spirit extended to her grandchildren, with whom she delighted in spending time, creating treasured moments that will forever linger in their hearts. Lori loved baking, particularly making cookies with her daughters and preparing her famous deviled eggs and cheese balls that became family favorites.
She shared an exceptionally close bond with her mother, Joyce. Together, they savored moments shopping and eagerly awaited the excitement of the McAlpins Moonlight Sale, a tradition that exemplified their strong connection and love for life’s simple pleasures.
Lori is survived by her loving children, LeAnn (Joe) Mann, Jenny (Brandy) Mahlenkamp, and Brian Collier. She is also survived by her dear sister, Pam (Dick) Minnich, and proud grandmother to Hailey Mann, Hannah Mann, Taylor Collier, Brynn Mahlenkamp, and Josie Mahlenkamp. Each of her family members carries forward her spirit of kindness and warmth.
Lori was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Joyce Seesing.
Cremation has taken place and Lori has been laid to rest at the Arlington Memorial Gardens.
Memorial contributions can be made to Hospice of Southwest Ohio at https://hswo.org/donate/.
In this time of reflection, we remember Lori not only for her nurturing presence but also for the laughter, comfort, and love she brought into our lives. Though she may no longer walk among us, her spirit and the values she instilled will continue to shine brightly in those she loved.
“Dear family and friends of Lori, sorry to hear of her passing, I also remember Lori as a warm smiling person, very routed in what she believed though, and she would tell you to… little funny story, when Lori’s was a teenager her and I would walk down to her crushes house ( John Bogas’s ) she would get me to crawl though the bushes and tell her what he was doing.

“To her family I send my deepest sympathy. She loved her kids dearly. Even though I had lost touch with her recently I had some great times with Lori at the concession stand during the school year and hanging at the pool in the summer. We also spent many nights out front of her house talking to people and also some of the NCH police officers. We enjoyed going to Frickers every now and then. She gave a lot of her time to the schools and her city. It was through her that I would get involved .I also have fond memories of St Margaret Mary festivals and Firemans festivals during the summer down by the football field. She will be missed.”
