VYBIRAL LORRI ANNE BRAHAM Age 54, of Grove City, died unexpectedly of natural causes on Thurs., December 13, 2018, in McHenry, IL. Lorri was born on August 15, 1964 in Grove City; she was the daughter of Susan (Susie) Braham and the late David William (Buster) Braham. She graduated from Slippery Rock High School in 1982, where she was in the marching band and ?ag corp. Lorri was currently employed with Plan Source as a bene?ts manager. She had previously worked for Next Generation Enrollment and also for PAE. She married the love of her life, Matt Vybiral, on November 4, 2017; he survives. She was a loving, caring, and outgoing person who loved her husband, children, stepchildren, and grandchildren. Lorri loved camping at Wildwood Acres in Andover, bird watching and setting up bird feeders in the backyard, spotting and naming birds. She lit up when spending time with her grandkids. Lorri was an Amazon Prime queen, ?nding great buys for her family. She took her ?rst trip out of the U.S. with Matt on their honeymoon to Italy and loved traveling. Lorri was an avid and talented crafter where she created stained glass, American wood art, stamping, and she particularly enjoyed paint 'n sip. Lorri was exceptional at hosting and decorating for every birthday and holiday. She was a fantastic cook and loved baking. Some of her famous meals were spaghetti squash and stuffed peppers. Lorri and Matt saved many seeds and grew a bountiful garden. They canned together 100 quarts of tomatoes, salsa, and mixed vegetables. She loved and talked about her "camp" family, where she enjoyed a shot of Jack and earned the nickname "shooter." She had fun playing Bingo and the Wheel of Fortune at the casino and was also an avid reader and collector of Wendell August. Above all, Lorri was a huge Pittsburgh sports fan, and especially a Steelers fan who would armchair quarterback with the best of the boys, as well as taking "shots on goal" during the Pens games. Lorri was a dog lover and owned a couple of dachshunds named Tucker, aka T-bone, and her rescue dog, Suda, aka chitty head. She always referred to them as the Bubbas. One of Lorri's favorite pastimes was waiting for the next Net?ix to drop. Loved ones left to cherish Lorri's memory are her husband, Matt Vybiral; her mother, Susie Braham; her children, Anthony R. Spencer and wife, Sara M. (Yoder) Spencer, Tyler W. Spencer and wife, Danielle (Fleske) Spencer, and Frederick R.
