Lori Ann (Miller) Boeding, of Mechanicsville, passed away unexpectedly at her home in on December 14, 2022.

Lori was born on August 28, 1966, to Dwain and Alta (Soulek) Miller in Mitchell, SD. She grew up in White Lake, SD, later moving to Chamberlain, SD, where she attended and graduated high school. Following high school, Lori attended Northern State University for a year and later earned her Associates of Applied Science degree in Court Reporting at the Stenotype Institute in Sioux Falls, SD in May of 1996.

On June 7th, 1986, Lori was united in marriage to the love of her life and her high school sweetheart, Herman Boeding. To this union, Ethan was born. Lori was an incredibly devoted mother. She cherished each moment of Ethan growing up, attempting to capture every memory with her photography skills. She went to every opportunity from preschool through grade school volunteering for Ethan's classes. She also taught Religious Education at the Church of the Redeemer for the extent of Ethan's grade school. Lori embraced being a host or a second mom to many of Ethan's friends, always welcoming them into her home. Being a mom brought so much joy to her life. Aside from being a devoted mom, Lori was a true friend. After moving from South Dakota to Virginia to pursue her career as a court reporter, she quickly established friendships that remain today as her 'family' away from home. She loved to share stories of her friendships and held them near and dear to her heart. Whether it be a wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, or friend, Lori was an exceptionally kind person. She always put others before herself and ensured that those around her were taken care of. She had an amazing ability to light up a room with her excitement and her happiness.

Preceding her in death was her father, Dwain Miller, and an aunt, Clarice Vissia.

Grateful for having shared her life are her husband, Herman; son Ethan and daughter-in-law, Hannah; mother, Alta; two sisters, Cathy (Craig) Blasius, Cindy (Bob) Hosek; and many nieces; nephews; and great nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends on Monday, December 19, 2022 from 5 to 8 pm at the Bennett Funeral Home, Mechanicsville Chapel, 8014 Lee Davis Rd.
