Lorie Anne Brady

Lorie Anne Brady, October 14, 2024 age 66 of Canton. Beloved partner and sweetheart of Lawrence “Larry” White. Loving mother of the late T.J. Haggerty, and step-mother to Larry’s children Dr. Nicholas A. White, and Alexandra K. White. Dear sister of Lynn Bailey and Bonnie Brady. Lorie Anne Brady was born on April 27, 1958, at Palo Alto Hospital in California, to Thomas and Barbara (nee Koefod) Brady. She grew up in Los Altos, where she attended Los Altos High School, graduating in 1976. Later that same year, she relocated to Fort Myers, Florida, before eventually residing in Tallahassee, FL, and Lawrenceville, GA. Lorie pursued higher education at Edison Community College in Fort Myers, where she studied for one year. Raised in the Catholic faith, she maintained a connection to her spiritual roots throughout her life. In her professional career, Lorie held a variety of leadership roles. She began as a regional manager for Estée Lauder in the late 1970s, followed by a position as Office Manager at Moss Brothers Automotive in the mid-1980s. She later became the Operations Manager for Cerberus Properties, demonstrating her adaptability and strong work ethic in each role. Lorie was widely admired for her generosity and resilience. Despite facing significant personal challenges, including surviving five different types of cancer and a debilitating stroke, she maintained a spirit of determination and compassion. She surpassed the odds of a medical prognosis that had predicted less than a 50% chance of surviving beyond five years back in 2004. Her strength was an inspiration to those around her, especially the members of the stroke and cancer survivor groups she so dearly cherished. An artist at heart, Lorie expressed her creativity in many ways. She had a love for sketching, painting, and interior design, and her talent extended to creating beautiful seasonal wreaths and setting artful tablescapes. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she found joy in cooking, swimming, traveling, and listening to all genres of music. Lorie will be remembered as the kindest, most selfless person, always ready to lend a hand, a listening ear, or a shoulder to lean on. Even in the face of her own hardships—whether it was her battle with illness or the heartbreaking loss of her son to suicide—Lorie never wavered in her dedication to helping others. Her presence brought warmth and comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing her. As her sweetheart of 24 years, Larry frequently asserted: “Lorie was the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet, both inside and out. “ Private cremation services were entrusted to Vermeulen-Sajewski Funeral Home, Plymouth. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Attn: Michael Sawyer, 199 Water Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10038, or to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, 2361 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10306.
