Lori Ann Guerrieri

Lori Ann Guerrieri, 55, of Ridgecrest, California, passed away unexpectedly on November
6th, 2025. A beloved daughter, sister, friend, and advocate, Lori’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of all who loved her. She will be remembered for her radiant smile, deep compassion,and tireless commitment to making the world a better place.

Born prematurely on April 22nd, 1970, Lori grew up with a fierce sense of justice and a heart over flowing with empathy. After attending Pacific Christian in Fullerton, she graduated from Pomona College with a degree in Graphic Design and immediately put her talents to use helping others. She worked as a Manager for Circle K and later as a Job Coach for Dart, where she not only shared her professional skills but also reflected Christ’s love to everyone who walked through those doors—offering understanding, hope, and kindness to those who are often forgotten.

Outside of her work, Lori lived life with incredible joy and purpose. One of her earliest adventures after college took her to Fiji, where she spent a summer as a missionary with AIM—an experience that stayed with her for the rest of her life. After returning home, she devoted herself to caring for her sister during her recovery from cancer, embodying the same compassion she showed to everyone she met. 

Lori cherished time with her family and friends, especially her nieces and nephews, who brought her endless happiness. She was always the first to lend a hand—organizing family visits,babysitting for friends, or offering comfort in times of need. 

She is survived by her loving mother, Ginger Guerrieri; her brother, David Guerrieri; her sister, Christina; and a wide circle of dear friends, co-workers, and countless lives she touched throughout her too-brief but deeply meaningful life.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Lori’s life well lived on Saturday, November22, 2025 at 2pm. The ceremony will take place at 729 North Norma Street. Ridgecrest, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Lori’s memory be made to IWV Church of Christ.

Though her time here was brief, Lori leaves behind a lasting legacy of faith, compassion, and unwavering love for Jesus, her family, and her friends. Her life and example will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.
