AUBURN — Lori E. Douglass has passed on to our Lord’s eternal embrace after a short illness. Her passing was at Clover Manor Health Care.

Lori was born on Nov. 30, 1951, at Quantico, Va., to Oscar Douglass and Coralie Hanscom Guerrazzi. She graduated from Edward Little High School and Farmington State Teacher’s College. She taught for four years in an Eskimo school above the Arctic Circle in Selawick, Alaska, which she tremendously enjoyed.

She lived in Alaska, and Arizona for many years before returning to Auburn.

She later spent more than 10 years as an aide with Spurwink Homes, but had to retire in 2007 after losing her eyesight.

For many years, she was a very active knitter. She was a very avid reader her entire life until losing her eyesight.

She leaves her mother, Coralie of Green Acres, Fla.; a daughter, Sherrylee and two grandsons, David and Blayne of Anchorage, Alaska; several aunts and uncles in the local area; and an extended family of relatives in Florida.

The family would like to thank the very caring people at Clover Manor and the Hospice folks from Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice Services.

A special thank-you goes to all of the folk at Spurwink for your thoughts and prayers, and especially to a longtime special friend, Bob, (Bear) in Frostproof, Fla.

She will be missed by all those whose lives she touched.

She specifically asks her caregivers not to hold any services in her behalf, but simply say a final prayer for her happiness in the better place, where she now resides.
