Heaven must have needed a giant tray of pumpkin bars, as Lori Lynn (Rusk) Warwick, sadly left us too soon on March 15, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones.

Lori was born on September 28th, 1963, to John (Jack) and Eunice Rusk. She always credited her amazing cooking skills and lack of ability to make an appropriate size portion, to growing up in Whitefish, WI with her 12 brothers and sisters.

On August 31, 1985, Lori married her favorite fishing partner, Russell Warwick. Their love of slaying trout, hunting grouse and gathering all the things the land could offer, became a passion and hobby they shared. Together throughout their years, along with the love of their families, they raised their children Jerry, Brittany and Rochelle (Rocky).

Lori had many great qualities we loved, like her sense of humor, her willingness to always help out and of course the biggest heart. Always ensuring everyone was taken care of.

We will miss her perfectly grilled t-bone, her mammoth sized pizzas and her homemade dill pickles, but the thing we will miss the most are the memories she will lose out on with her 3 grandchildren. Lochlan, Callan and Oaklynn were her most prized treasures. "Nana", was our favorite title she held.

Lori is survived by her husband, daughters and sons-in-law (Marcus and Matt), 3 grandchildren, sisters Renee and Carol, brother Richard and several nieces and nephews. Lori was greeted amongst the stars by her parents, brothers and sisters and her beloved son Jerry.

A Celebration of Lori's Life will be from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2024, at Pineview Funeral Service in Hayward.

Our family would like to thank everyone that has sent their well wishes, thoughts and prayers over the last few days. The outpour of love we have received during this difficult time does not go unnoticed.

We'll miss you mom. "Watch for deer, text us when you get there."
