Obituary of Lori Catherine Dahl

It is with profound sadness that the family of Lori Catherine Dahl announce her passing at the age of 65, on September 6th, 2024.   

Lori was born December 9th, 1958 to Raymond and Patricia Dahl.  In her teens, the family moved from Minneapolis to Grand Rapids, MN where she graduated from GRHS and lived for many years.  She loved being outdoors, going on walks, and days at the beach.  Lori was a talented painter, lover of arts and crafts, and music.

Lori’s biggest point of pride were her three children: Casandra (Sean) McNichol, Gavin (Becky) Paulouski, and Caleb Newton, whom she loved deeply. We will remember her distinct voice, sense of humor, and warm heart. Her ability to find the good in the face of adversity was admirable to all who knew her.

Lori was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond & Patricia Dahl, and older sister Terri Walker.  She is survived by her three children, Casandra (Sean) McNichol, Gavin (Becky) Paulouski, and Caleb Newton. Her siblings, Kim Dahl-Henderson, Mark Dahl, Krissy (Scott) Gunderson, Patti (Kris) Greise, and brother-in-law Mark Walker, as well as several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a monetary or clothing donation to your nearest Dress for Success location in Lori's name.

A celebration of her life will be held from 1-4PM on Sunday, October 13th at the Hopkins Center for the Arts: 1111 Main St. Hopkins, MN, 55343. 

Please join us in remembrance of a mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
