Lori Anne Peña
July 19, 1957 – March 19, 2022
True to her fire spirit, Lori was born in Seattle, WA on July 19, 1957, the hottest day of the year reaching 84.4 F. She was previously married to Mac Ross and forever wed to Edmonds, WA, her port in a storm, her haven. Though she had no children of her own, by way of the therapeutic stylist’s chair, she nurtured an entire community, her extended family. Her passion for art, expression and helping others look and feel their best kept Salon Peña open for 32 years. We will never forget her laugh, it shook us all, contagious, powerful. Her sass, her wisdom, her heart that loved as big as the ocean. She will be dearly missed by her sister Terry, brother Frank, 8 Nephews, 5 nieces, 7 great nephews, 4 great nieces, thousands of clients & friends.
Today we cheer to her life, with a chilled dirty martini and 3 blue cheese olives of course and count our blessings to have felt her beautiful fire.
A service will be held on 4/2/2022 at 1pm at Becks Tribute Center in Edmonds WA, followed by a private family service at 3pm. There will be a live, online service for anyone who cannot attend www.BecksTributeCenter.Com.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to ‘American Kidney Fund’ www.Kidneyfund.org.
Bless her sassy heart. My dear wife Cindy Goodman invited Lori to go see Judy Collins at the ECA in late February ( they were schoolmates at Ballard High ) We were not sure if Lori was up to the task, as she had had some health setbacks, but she told my wife………..” Hell yes I’m going, but we need to bring some white wine” So be it, I stopped at Olympic View Deli for some mini’s. Her brother Frank helped us load the wheelchair up & off we went. I picked them up after the concert & Lori was beaming. They had a blast, and some wine leftover………….& that’s how want to remember her………….sassy.
Lori was a great friend to me and I will always hold her in my heart. She was so kind and generous. Lori was the best.
OMG I didn’t know. Lori was amazing. I will miss our talks. She always made me feel beautiful inside and out.
