Lori J. Arbaiza passed away peacefully on April 15th, 2025, leaving behind a life marked by resilience and a deep appreciation of the beauty of the natural world. She was the proud mother of two sons, Matt Arbaiza (Stephanie) and Josh Arbaiza, and the adoring grandmother of Mason Arbaiza—her greatest source of joy in recent years. She is survived by her sister, Kathy Sommers (Ron), and joins her late brothers, Dan Urban and Michael Urban, in peaceful rest.

Lori had a unique and vibrant spirit. She lived life on her own terms and filled her days with the things that brought her happiness—especially her plants. Her home, both inside and out, was a lush oasis of greenery and color, reflecting her deep connection to nature and her remarkable ability to nurture life.

Lori had a passion for rock hunting, always thrilled to discover beauty in unexpected places. She was a devoted and lively friend to many. Her friends saw her as someone who could always find the silver lining, regardless of the circumstances, and whose presence could light up even the darkest moments.

Lori left an impression that won’t be forgotten—especially in the eyes of her grandson, Mason, who she cherished deeply and loved with her whole heart.

Her life was full, her laughter unforgettable, and her garden—like the love she shared—will forever bloom in the hearts of those who knew her.
