Lori M. Johnson, Little Chute, age 46, died unexpectedly on Thursday, December 2, 2021.  She was born in Appleton on October 21, 1975, the daughter of Bill and Faye (Thurner) Jensen. She grew up in Kaukauna and graduated the class of 1994. Lori worked in food safety compliance at Nestle until May, 2021 and then worked at the Hawk's Nest. She loved Harley rides, going for boat rides, dancing, online shopping, and out cooking her sister. If nothing else, she spent a lot of time at her happy place -- the dock. Lori was the life of the party and treasured her time spent with family and friends. If we learned anything from her life, it was to challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone, take risks and live life to the fullest with no regrets.

Lori is survived by her children:  Nastassja (Jon) Sprague of Combined Locks and Jarred Johnson (special friend Ashlyn) of Appleton; father, Bill Jensen of Kaukauna; sister:  Tara (Kevin) Jokipii of Kaukauna; her children's father, Daniel Johnson (special friend Terri); father and mother-in-law, Keith and Myrna Johnson; brothers and sisters-in-law:  Keith Jr. (Lisa) Johnson, Jessica Johnson, and Jeanine (Sean) Evenden; nieces and nephews: Zach (special friend Elaina) and Ashley Haen; Allisan, Rhys, and Paige Johnson; Jaden and Jirina Giordano; Braeden, Gavin, Raegan, Gabriella, and Jazmin Evenden; and was over the moon over the anticipated arrival of her first grandchild, Aria Rose Sprague. She is further survived by many other relatives and friends including lifelong friend, Sandie Shearer.

Lori was preceded in death by many loved ones including her mother, Faye Jensen; and her maternal and paternal grandparents.
