LORI-JEAN (FITZHERBERT) MCNAUGHTON WEST GARDINER – Lori-Jean (Fitzherbert) McNaughton, 48, died unexpectedly on Oct. 1, 2003, while visiting friends in Embden. Lori was a loving, caring person.

Lori’s joy-filled spirit was “larger than life” itself, and guided her through many difficulties. Lori was a friend to animals of all kinds. It was not unusual for her to have 5-6 needy creatures receiving love and affection from her. She is survived by her son, Philip Justin Fitzherbert, the true love and focus of Lori’s life. She was a loving mother. Her best friend, whom she diligently nurtured and guided through an educational system that often posed barriers to his special needs.

She is also survived by her husband, Francis White; her sisters, Paula Larrabee and Janice Pilotte and her husband, David; nieces, Sarah and Sheena Larrabee and her great nephew, Adrian; special friends, Topper Adams and Dan Witham. Justin wishes he had been able to say “I love you” and give her one last kiss and hug. “I LOVE YOU MOM…forever, rest in peace, Mom.” Friends and relatives may visit Monday 2-3 p.m. at Staples Funeral Home, 53 Brunswick Ave., Gardiner, where a memorial service will follow at 3 p.m.
