Lori Starnes

Lori A. Starnes, 59, of Mount Holly, passed away Friday, December 18, 2020 at Novant Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte.

Lori was born July 26, 1961 in Akron, Ohio to the late Roy Lindel Anderson and the late Marlene Ardella McCaslin Anderson.  She was also preceded in death by her brother, Charles Larry Anderson, and sister, Lynn Della Anderson.

Lori was the most caring and loving wife, mother and "Grams."  A graduate of Central Cabarrus High School (c/o 1979), she worked for decades in banking and insurance.  Her passion, though, was the many people she loved, including her family, especially each of her grandchildren, and dear friends near the homes she made in Concord, NC, Harrisburg, PA, and Kernersville, NC.  Lori was an avid animal lover and enjoyed the time she spent with others laughing, loving, and playing games.

Survivors include Lori's beloved husband of 41 years, James "Rick" Starnes, Sr. of Mount Holly; daughter, Kelly (Nick) Reid of Concord; son, James (Alexandra) Starnes, Jr. of Charlotte; eight grandchildren, Andrew Starnes, Amity Forrest, Bryson Reid, Kinsey Reid, Ashton Forrest, Braydin Reid, Theodore Starnes, and Olive Starnes; brother, James (Jayne) Anderson of Concord; and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm, Monday, December 21, 2020 at Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord.  The funeral service will be on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 10:00 am in the funeral home chapel, officiated by Rev.
