I was a patient of hers for many years and like so many of the other tributes I found her to be friendly, attentive and efficient. My husband had Alzheimer's and he was also a patient and she was so kind to me when he went into a long term care facility and then passed. I remember her children's art work on her office wall ....it always made me smile when I saw it. My condolences to her family."

"Many of my family members had been patients of Dr. Finelli for quite a number of years. We were so sad when she left the practice in October, but had no idea of the reason. She had a heart of gold and always made you feel safe and cared for. Her smile could brighten your darkest day. Our hearts are broken to hear of her passing and we want to extend our sincerest condolences to her family. Love from the Campbell and Baron family. "

"I have been a patient since the 80's.I was looking for a dermatologist and her sister Dr. Joan Gable told me to see her. Lorrie's personality lit up the room when she walked in.

Jean and Jeff Griffiths and family"

"Barbara Kotzin I was fortunate to have had an appointment with Dr. Finelli shortly before she closed her office. She was the only dermatologist I ever used, and I appreciated her no-nonsense approach, candor and expertise. She always greeted me with a smile and a "Hiya, Toots". We'd discuss the reason for my visit, and she'd open her magic drawer which was filled with a gazillion tubes of various creams, etc. She'd pick out what she wanted me to have, explain how to mix everything together, and put it all in a plastic baggie. When I asked how much to use, her standard reply was "A little dab'll do ya." We laughed about that Brill Cream ad many times. She was a special person and I was privileged to have known her. She will be sorely missed."

"Oh how Ioved Dr. Finelli! She had such grace and poise...ever knowledgeable. But better than her doctoring skills was her personal touch. I was a patient of hers for 20 years. We grew so close that when she heard I had been laid off from my job, she not only took care of me non-grata but she offered me a job in her office until I found something else. She was a tremendous blessing! How I used to love seeing her face glow when she showed me the newest picture her children had drawn...and lately, how handsome her Bryce was. She's in my prayers as are all of her family. God bless you all! Sandy Pflanz"

"I was shocked to learn Dr Finelli had passed away. She was a no-nonsense woman who answered every question I had about the bumps that appeared on my skin. I'll always remember the great advice she gave me. RIP great lady!!!"

We love you and we will miss you dearly. God has a new Angel in his circle and she will be forever looking down on us. God Bless!"

"Years ago, I was referred to Dr. Finelli by a college classmate and longtime friend of hers. My initial impression was that Dr. Finelli was caring, thorough and highly competent (and a really stylish dresser). She didn't disappoint! During one long stretch (7 years), I had no health insurance after leaving my full time job to become the primary caregiver for my mom. I wasn't sure if I could afford to continue to get my necessary annual checkups (and more) during this difficult time. Dr. Finelli assured me it was not an issue and simply charged me the same copay amount as if I still had my health insurance. This was a significant reduction to the actual bill and clearly a financial loss for her practice. Her kind gesture speaks volumes about her character and generosity. And by the way, she ALWAYS inquired about my mom's health and wellbeing and offered sincere sympathy when my mom died. I am forever grateful! Dr. Finelli's death is a loss for so many: her loving family, her loyal staff, her dear friends and her many grateful patients. She will be missed."

"I was a patient of Dr Finelli. She was professional and a very good doctor. I?m so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. "

"We were devastated to hear of dr. Finelli?s passing. She was always so patient and very informatable We took our son to her when he was 15. He had horrible acne and no self confidence. She told him she?d have him looking like new. And she was right!! By the end of the 5 month treatment he was as good as new with plenty of self confidence!!! She will be truly missed? John & Terry Kathrins "

"Dr Finelli was always so caring to me as a patient. Always asking about my family. She was fun and easy to talk to. She will be missed by so many many people. Bonnie Ritterman"

"Very sorry to hear and my sincere condolences to the entire family. My family and I went to her for many many years. We would discuss kids and family and I kept going to her even when my health insurance was not covered by her practice anymore. She worked with me on payment and patiently answered my many questions for my daughter who followed her into the Dr. profession. I wish I had the chance to formally say my goodbyes to her. Dave Danyluk..."

"Our family have been patients of Dr. Finelli's for years. I loved her energy, her zest for life, the pride she had for her family, and her down to earth approach. We shared a love of Florida and our families. Our love goes out to those she cherished. May the memories you share carry you through this most difficult time. Godspeed Toots! "

"My husband and I send our condolences to Dr. Finelli's family, as this must be the most difficult of times. I had been her patient for many years, and she guided me through a variety of dermatology issues. She was always patient, kind, and attentive to my needs. I was saddened when she closed her practice and I heard that she was ill. She has been in our prayers since then. I was so glad to have known her. May she rest in well-deserved peace. "

"To Dr. Finelli?s family, I am so saddened to hear about the loss of an amazing woman and doctor.

"I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Lori for a short time many years ago when I was in college and she was just getting her office started. She had two beautiful children that I would also occasionally babysit for. Lori was so generous and kind. One of my favorite memories was her sitting on the floor of her office, waiting for the next patient (it was truly the very early years), giving me advice while I manned the desk and did the filing. I also got to witness her interactions with the patients and the kindness she showed to them. Thank you, Lori, for those years of mentorship and positive influence. May the sounds of the faithful departed rest in peace, Amen. Jennifer McHugh, MD"

"Ben, Nicole and Dan. I am heartbroken to hear this news. It has been many years, but all the great memories we had together are clear as day.

I will be having Christmas Eve morning pancakes in her honor for the rest of my life and will be thinking of you all each time. That is a promise. Hugs and love to you all. - Dave "

"My mother and I were patients of Dr Finelli's for over 20 years. I am so sad to hear of her passing. I was so worried when I received the letter she abruptly closed her office. She always had a smile and warm welcome as she entered the exam room. Wish I had known she too was a CD graduate. The world is now missing a wonderful Doctor and all around good person too soon. I offer my deepest sympathy to the family she loved so dearly; her friends and her nice office staff."

"I was saddened to learn of Dr. Finelli?s passing. She treated a variety of my skin conditions for over 15 years. We developed a common bond as our children attended Germantown Academy, our daughter?s gave birth around the same time and we both loved the game of golf. Dr. Finelli was the consummate professional, but always found time to ask me about my family. I?m sure she touched many of her clients in the same way. She will be missed. Our sympathy is extended to her entire family. Craig and Gina Garretson"

"My condolences to Dr. Finelli?s family. She was my dermatologist for a few years and always was compassionate. May her life be for a blessing."

I'm thinking not only of her family but the wonderful staff she had. Fondly, Denise Buchanan"

"I knew Lori most of my life. She was the most wonderful, amazing and fun loving person. She was such a great friend to my sister, with whom she went from Kindergarten to grade 12. They may have gone their separate ways for college but retained their friendship. She was so good to my family and Vicki. She was always there for Vicki since 2014 and all the way to the end of Vicki?s life. Little did we know that Lori was also not well. To her entire family I wish you peace and love at this difficult time. Maria Fella Cain. "

"I am so very sad to hear of my old teammate's passing. I played b-ball with Lorie all through high school. There are people who you have shared experiences with that will remain in your soul forever. My memories are of only laughter, friendship, honesty, competition and the common bond of complaining about staying late to shoot foul shots. It was always a contest between us on who would have to stay longer. Our 4 years together were magical. I am heartened to know that the teenager I always knew would shine a bright light on this world did just that. My prayers and sincere condolences to your family during this most difficult time. R.I.P. Lori ? "

"I was a patient of Dr. Finelli's for the past 12 years. I was always so impressed with her as a doctor; her knowledge, her professionalism, and most of all her compassion.

"Dr. Finelli was one of my favorite doctors. She understood that a woman didn't want blotches on her body and not barnacles as she referred to them, then we would share a laugh. She was always kind and painless and always had time. I recently found out she had closed her practice and I was in despair as to who I could trust. My sympathies to her husband and family. My husband Mat and I just got a phone call from the Country Club that she had passed. It's a big family so news travels along. God Bless her and may she know she was loved and appreciated.

"I have no words to say how sad I am to hear of Dr. Finelli?s passing. I have been a patient of hers for probably 20 years. After my first melanoma, she told me her and I ?would be best friends.? Not the best friend I wanted, but the ?best friend? I needed. She was always so on top of everything. Another two melanomas and she always made me feel at ease. I always loved coming to hear about her family and her golf game. She never made you feel rushed and always made you feel like her only patient. I always joked with her telling her she wasn?t allowed to retire. I am so sad that I didn?t get to see her before she closed her practice. Dr. Finelli was a true gem! My heart goes out to her family and staff who were also so kind. I am praying for all of you during this time. Rest In Peace Dr. Finelli. ????"

She was the consummate personal. About 6 months ago her office called and said the practice was closing as of that very day. I knew it was something serious but prayed it would be manageable. Clearly It was not. Godspeed to you, known only to me as Dr. Finelli. Embrace with your sweet tendencies the many souls who are joining you these days on the other side as you comforted me when Ron left so suddenly."

Our prayers are with her family. "

"Dr. Finelli has treated myself and my children for over 15 years. She was simply the BEST. She was caring and smart and so knowledgeable and just about the best doctor I've ever had contact with. She was always proud of her family and always remembered mine whenever I saw her. Normally taking kids to a doctor is a chore but when they'd ask who we were seeing -- as soon as I said it was Dr. Finelli -- everything was great because they loved her! She will truly be missed and our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very sad time. "

"God speed my dear friend. The beautiful memories will sustain us all. You were such a character. All of us that played with you will never forget how you cheered for yourself when you made a foul shot. Free throws may have not been your strong point but I wouldn't put anybody other than you at mid court during a full court press. 9 out of 10 times you read it and stole the ball. As Mary Beth wrote, your oatmeal facials, eating dried fruit before it was even popular, the infamous powder fight in Lourdes, etc. Your smile and presence would light up the room. The world is now a little less bright. "May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest". You are now at peace my special friend"

"VERY SAD TO HEAR OF "mUmsy" passing as she was known to the basketball team at Immaculata. She always was full of life and had a smile on her face..

We know she is up there recruiting folks for a pickup game of golf or basketball..and her laughter is filling heaven. G2 we love you! Love to Nicole, Ben, Dan and the whole family"

"I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news. Lorrie was married to my cousin. Lorrie was a pleasant, kind and generous woman. I was always welcome at her home.

My deepest sympathies to Nicole and Ben. "
