Loris Elodie DePorter Waggener passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025  in San Ramon, California surrounded by family and friends at the age of 85 after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's.
Lorie was born in Seattle, Washington; the youngest daughter to her father, Maurice DePorter and the only daughter to her mother, Helen Budwick DePorter. She grew up in a loving modest home in Seattle that her father built.  She lived there along with her two brothers who she adored: Jerry and Donny.  She also had a step sister, Marci from her father’s previous marriage who did not live with them. She lost her mother to breast cancer at a fairly young age after her marriage to Bob in 1960 and before her first child was born in 1964.
Lorie loved to learn and loved school.  One of the highlights during her high school years was becoming Captain of her high school Drill Team of which she was very proud. After graduation Lorie was able to attend college at Central Washington University in Ellensburg Washington due in large part to her brother Jerry advocating for her to their parents. It was there that she met her future husband Bob.  After a courtship that required her to convince the Dean of their college to give Bob another chance so he would not fail out of college, they married in the fall of 1960.  She and Bob were married for 62 fun-filled years before his passing exactly three years prior; during the same Thanksgiving week, only one day apart. We’d like to think they are reunited at the Thanksgiving table which was their favorite holiday.  Now we will forever celebrate them during the time where we all gather together as a family which meant so much to her and to Bob.
In her early years she loved writing and was a journalist at a local Seattle paper. When a career opportunity arose for Bob they decided to relocate their young family from Washington state to California; first to Foster City then down to Long Beach. It was there where they created so many wonderful memories and developed many lifelong friendships.  In Long Beach Lorie obtained her real estate license and began working as an agent; when she wasn’t running her kids around to all their activities.  Over the years she was a Campfire Girl leader for Ann’s troop and a Den Leader for both Shel and Linc’s separate Cub Scout troops. In addition to everything she did for her kids she was also a savvy businesswoman, running several successful ventures throughout her life including a small parking lot striping equipment manufacturing company; a travel agency and a small transportation software company that she ran with Bob. Her greatest joy, however, was her family.
After they were married Lorie left college to support Bob in earning his degree. She then resumed her education 20 years later earning her Bachelors Degree in Business.
During the course of their lives Lorie and Bob owned homes in several states. Their first purchase was a small home in Ellensburg, Washington for $11,000 in the early 60s.  Then from there had homes throughout California including Foster City, Long Beach, Bear Valley, Bakersfield, Rocklin and Walnut Creek; and a custom home they built in Cave Creek, Arizona with a gourmet kitchen that Lorie enjoyed on a golf course which Bob loved.  They loved hosting many friends and family in Cave Creek where fun was had by all. Many hours were enjoyed playing poker, pool and golf in addition to the countless dinner parties.
Lorie loved cooking and coming up with delicious menus.  Because her food was always wonderful and comforting we will never forget her one hilarious Swedish meatball failure! She worked tirelessly every Thanksgiving to make the meal traditional and special for everyone who joined us. She loved having her family by her side but always opened up their home to friends or anyone who was in need.  She was passionate about helping others and contributed much of her time and money to many charities over the course of her life.
She had many other hobbies too like camping, fishing, reading, geology, rock and shell collecting, gardening, taking road trips with Bob and reminiscing about their lives and how lucky they were to have such a wonderful family.  Unlike Bob, Ann & Linc, Lorie was not very competitive; although one of her favorite activities was playing games with her family (especially cards). She never cared who won - just that they were all together having fun.
She adored dogs, but especially her dog, Hershe who has now outlived them both and is living comfortably in her final days with Lincoln in Southern California.
Lorie was a dynamo and a force of nature. She was a fierce advocate and immensely proud of each of her children throughout their lives.  She also supported everything they chose to do with their lives. She was always positive, extremely generous, funny, fun-loving, and with a spirit that could light up a room.
Lorie made friends wherever she went, right up until her final days. She loved people unconditionally. She and Bob traveled the world and opened their home and hearts to countless exchange students and traveling strangers over the years, making their home a welcoming haven for all.
She is survived by her three very thankful children Ann Barnes (David-her favorite of the sons! xoxo) of San Ramon CA, Shelton Waggener (Julia) of Oakland CA, and Lincoln Waggener (Susie) of Mission Viejo CA,  her eight wonderful grandchildren and one adorable great granddaughter. Additionally she and Bob were thrilled to have welcomed into their home and hearts some 10+ international exchange students, many of whom became a true part of the family including Tracey and Sam (Australia),  Eric (Argentina), Kai (Germany), Lukas (Brazil) and Leiko (Japan).
Lorie left an indelible mark on so many lives.  We will forever cherish her generous and fun-loving spirit. Thank you for bringing so much light and love into the world, Mom. We miss you and will love you always.
Lorie’s cremains have been interred next to Bob at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery. A private family memorial was held on March 6, 2026.
