A Mother's Journey Through Unimaginable Loss and Resilience
A Mother of Seven
Lori Coble, a mother of seven, passed away at the age of 48. Her life was marked by both immense joy and profound sorrow.
Tragedy Strikes
In 2007, Lori lost her three eldest children in a tragic car accident:
- Kyle Christopher, 5 years old
- Emma Lynn, 4 years old
- Katie Gene, 2 years old
A New Beginning
After months of grieving, Lori and her husband Chris decided to try for another child. A year later, they welcomed triplets:
- Jake Christopher
- Ashley Lynn
- Ellie Gene
Each child carried a middle name in honor of their older siblings. For the next 16 years, Lori and Chris focused on raising their family.
A Devastating Diagnosis
In June 2025, Chris noticed changes in Lori's behavior. She became increasingly clumsy, running into walls and dropping objects. By early July, her symptoms worsened, and she exhibited signs of a stroke.
Doctors diagnosed her with stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
"I started mourning the loss of my wife the day she got diagnosed."
The Battle Against Cancer
Lori underwent two surgeries to remove the tumor. The second procedure left her with limited mobility on her left side. Complications led to a stroke, and she spent 40 days in the hospital.
Upon her return home, Lori began chemotherapy and radiation. However, the treatments left her exhausted and affected her speech.
In mid-November, she was hospitalized again due to a severe brain infection. Chris expressed his anguish, feeling that the treatments were as torturous as the disease itself.
Final Days
In early December, Lori managed to schedule an interview, but the day before, she was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia. She was eventually moved to hospice care, surrounded by her family. Chris remained by her side, determined to make her final days as comfortable as possible.
A Legacy of Love
On January 21, Chris announced Lori's passing on Facebook. Her legacy of resilience and love will forever be remembered by those who knew her.
