It comes with great sadness to announce the passing of our beloved mother grandmother and dear friend Lori Lynn Gollan. Lori passed away on the morning of Thurs April 21st after a long hard battle with ongoing medical complications.
Lori was born on March 6th, 1959 in Calgary Alberta. The second child of her mothers but the first born/ eldest in her household. Lori along with her parents and 3 sibling moved Saskatchewan. They eventually settled in at the acreage near Meath Park where Lori spent the rest of her youth. She married and had 4 children and moved to a small acreage in Albertville, after that to Pincher Creek Alberta. There she worked her way up in positions at the local post office.
Lori and her first husband went their separate ways. Lori married her second husband and spent the next few years helping on the large cattle farm. This journey led her back to Saskatchewan moving the farm and helping build their home near Meath Park. She worked at the Prince Albert Shopper news paper. Lori and her second husband grew apart and Lori moved to Prince Albert and then to Saskatoon where she began her journey to become a lawyer, after years of study and many friends made in law school Lori graduated and received her law digree.
After receiving her law degree she moved to North Battleford and began to practice at a law firm until the time she was able to open her own practice. Lori opened her own practice and ran her law office Gollan Law Office in North Battleford until more recently when her health began to decline.
Lori loved to travel and throughout the years saw many places, Florida, Phoenix, Mexico. She loved her romantic novels, crime and mystery, the best part of fishing was the piece and quiet it gave her to get lost in a good novel. She had many hobbies and interests from traveling, fishing and music to crafts and gardening. She was hands on and once she set her mind to something nothing could stop her from figuring it out.
