"Lori was a wonderful lady. She was my god mother and I couldn't have asked for a better one. She was so thoughtful and caring. She never missed a birthday, Christmas or holiday. There was always a present or card in the mail from the Mundy's. Which she also carried on for my children's birthdays and holidays. I have many fond memories of family vacations we use to take together when I was a child. My heart goes out to Kent, Rachel, Sara and their families. You will all be in mine and my families prayers. ? ?? "
In loving memory of
Lorelei Mundy
March 28, 1952 - October 11, 2022
Lorelei Marie (Springer) Mundy, 70, of Rochester, MN passed away in her home on October 11, 2022, after a two and a half year battle with pancreatic cancer.
She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Kent Mundy, daughter, Rachel (Jason) Freed, daughter Sarah (Ted) Mundy-Evans, Mother Beverly Springer, four grandchildren, and six siblings. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Springer.
Lori was born on March 28, 1952, in St. Paul, MN and grew up in Bloomington. She met Kent at Lincoln Senior High, and they were married on August 4, 1973. They moved to Rochester shortly after when Kent was hired by IBM. To be home with the kids during the day, she took on working the overnight shift at Target and continued working at Target until her retirement at the age of 65 in 2017. She worked at Target for 30 years and was a dedicated, loyal employee.
Some of her passions included music and concerts, collecting bears, gardening, enjoying nature, movies, going out to dinner and spending time with her family. One of Lori's favorite places to visit was Marco Island, FL. She looked forward to visiting her mom, walking the beach with Kent and shelling. She was a 19-year breast cancer survivor. Lori's four grandchildren, Lucia, Aida, Oliver, and Marlow were her world and she showered them with attention. Visiting her and Kent in Rochester was a very special treat for the grandkids. To quote one, "Grammie's house smells like love". And that love will be passed on in the stories and memories of Lori that we'll continue to share. May her radiant smile always shine bright in our hearts.
Funeral Mass will be held 11:00 AM Friday, October 28, 2022 at Pax Christi 4135 18th Ave. NW, Rochester, MN. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the church.

"Kent, thinking of you and your family for the loss of Lori recently. "
"Lori was my best friend from high school. We have kept in touch with cards celebrating every birthday, holiday, big events and phone calls! There was not a celebration that Lori missed! When text became available life was even better. I will miss Lori everyday of my life. Lori was kind, thoughtful, beautiful and giving! She was my best friend and I was a lucky girl. My heart ?? goes out to Kent, Rachel and Sarah. Her girl?s were the absolute highlight of her life. And then came the grandchildren! Lori always sent me pictures over the years as I lived in GA. I just had my first granddaughter and 3 weeks before Lori passed away she sent me a card congratulating Mike and I. Lori?s life was devoted to Kent. Our last conversation was Lori telling me ?she couldn?t make Kent supper anymore? as we were both sobbing knowing this would be our last conversation. May Lori Rest In Peace with God and my consolation is she is no longing in pain anymore! Love and prayers to Kent, Sarah, Rachel and the grandchildren and her beloved Mom and siblings! Love Deb and Mike Metzig"
