Lori Ann Marcum

Lori Ann Marcum, age 63, of Louisville, KY, left this world peacefully at her home on Thursday, March 13, 2025. Her presence brought joy and warmth to all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.

For the past six years, Lori was an integral part of the Kentucky Farm Bureau Family. Throughout her life, she dedicated herself to meaningful work with the Girl Scouts, served faithfully at Southeast Christian Church, and diligently contributed to The Salvation Army. Her commitment to her various roles reflected her nurturing spirit and desire to give back to her community.

Lori had a passion for life that shone brightly through her many interests. She delighted in reading, crafting, and traveling across America. Her adventurous spirit led her on kayaking trips and many heartwarming adventures. Most precious to her were the moments spent with her family and the countless children who adored her. Even her beloved fur baby, Liza, held a special place in her heart.

Though she is preceded in death by her father Fred Marcum Jr., mother Alice Carpenter, brother Larry Marcum, stepfather Marvin Carpenter, great-aunt Sister Odilia Gadlage, step-brothers Marvin and Allen Carpenter, her beloved cousin and nephew, she leaves behind a legacy of love. Her sister Donna Sexton (Warren) and brother Dennis Marcum, along with many loving family members and friends, will carry her memory forward.

The family wishes to express special gratitude to all of Lori's friends, particularly Betty Thompson and Jane Lindsey, whose unwavering support and care provided her comfort throughout her life’s journey.

Lori was truly a blessing to all who crossed her path, always offering love and support to those in need. Her memory will live on in the hearts of everyone lucky enough to have known her.

A visitation to honor Lori will be held on Friday, March 21, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, followed by a service at 2:00 PM at Newcomer Cremations, Funeral and Receptions, located at 235 Juneau Drive, Louisville, KY, 40243.
