Lori L. Baker Longstreth, 53, of Marathon passed away peacefully on Sept. 3, 2017, after a courageous 15-month illness. Longstreth was born on Nov. 29, 1963 in Zanesville, Ohio.

She was a 1982 graduate of Philo High School and was employed at Johnson’s Insurance Agency for 20 years. She also appraised for Monroe County and was last employed at Key Colony Beach Realty.

Lori will be greatly missed by her parents, Don and Kay Denbow; her husband, Randy, whom she married in 1989; her daughter, Morgan (Ryan Burns) Longstreth; siblings, Jamie (Curt) Clark, Susan (Tim) Altier, and Michael (Johnna) Denbow; her father- and mother-in-law, Carl and Nancy Longstreth; brothers-in-law, Larry (Ann) Longstreth and Craig (Nancy Irwin) Longstreth; and sisters-in-law, Darla (P.J.) Longstreth and Debbie (Dave) Glass; very special friend, Lisa Joseph of Marathon; and aunts, uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews. Longstreth was preceded in death by her brother, Brady S. Baker.

She was a devoted Ohio State Buckeye fan and lover of college football. During the summers, she could be found enjoying the Valhalla sandbar off Marathon with a Mich Ultra in hand. She will be remembered as a selfless, determined, hardworking and lovable woman.

A memorial service to celebrate the life of Lori Longstreth will be held on Jan. 27, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Key Colony Inn. For further information, contact Morgan Longstreth at longstrethmorgan@gmail.com.
