Lori Riggs, 51

Lori was born June 29, 1958, in Boise, Idaho, to Richard A. Mabe and Patricia Ann Mabe. Following a long battle with cancer, she died March 28, 2010, with her loving family by her side. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, caring sister, and a cherished friend. Her laughter brought happiness to us all. She was always there for anyone who needed a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, or was just there to listen. Lori loved the outdoors, enjoying camping, fishing, hunting or just being out in the sun. Lori had a passion for cooking; something about her pies made you want to keep coming back for more. She was always ready to whip something up if someone was ever hungry. She was our rock, the glue that held our family together. Lori took pride in everything she did. Her smile and laughter will be missed by her family and all who knew her. Lori was preceded in death by her mother, Patricia Ann. She is survived by her loving husband of 32 years, John L. Riggs; son, John T. Riggs, and wife, Amanda, and grandbabies, Jordan and Tessa; youngest son, Joseph R. Riggs; her father, Richard A. Mabe; brother, Terry Pirrong, and wife, Terra, and their family; sister, Liza Moffat, and husband, Joe, and family; sister, Linda Lyford; and many, many friends. Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Friday, April 2, at the Columbia Mortuary Chapel with interment following at Woodlawn Cemetery; a reception will immediately follow. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the mortuary. Please come and celebrate the life she lived.
