Lori was born Nov. 8, 1947, in Buffalo Center, to parents Lena M. (Baumann) and Arlie E. Meyer. Her family lived in north Iowa her whole life, and Lori graduated from Lake Mills High School in 1966. She later graduated from La’ James School of Cosmetology, and worked at the Forester.=
On Sept. 20, 1969, she was united in marriage to Alan D. Wubben at Zion Lutheran Church, Rake. The couple had three children together. They made their home on a farm outside of Lake Mills, where Lori lived out the rest of her life. Her children and the farm meant the world to Lori, who worked hard to raise her family there. As a female farmer, she served as the minority advisor for the Farm Service Agency County Committee from 2007 to 2009.
Lori was a loving, caring soul who frequently took in stray pets, and she would always put the needs of others ahead of her own. In her young adult life, she dedicated much of her time to making crafts, decorating cakes and cookies, and giving haircuts to her family and friends. Lori always made every holiday and birthday memorable with her special touches and traditions. She always loved baking, tending to her garden, feeding the wild birds, and crafting. She spread much love through her handmade cards and giving away baked goods. Lori also loved her 4-wheeler, which she took on several family vacations, where she and her family enjoyed ATV trails and camping in the wilderness of Utah. Her 4 wheeler also gave her greater mobility later in life, and neighbors could often see her cruising along the highway with her dog as she went to check on crops or visit her son and family.
Lori was kind, creative, giving, stubborn, hardworking, loving, supportive, and so much more. She will live on in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.
Lori is survived by her children: Michael Wubben, Lake Mills; Mark Wubben and his wife, Katie, Lake Mills; and Melissa Wubben and husband, Barry, Norwalk; one grandson, Josiah Wubben; sisters: Marnalee Schissel, Rapid City, S.D.; Shirleen Mitthun and husband, Jim, Forest City; and Arleen Nagel, Isle, Minn; many nieces and nephews; and many friends.=
She was preceded in death by her parents, Arlie and Lena Meyer; and brothers-in-law: Joe Schissel and Loren Nagel.
