Lori Faith Whidden

Lori Faith Whidden, a compassionate soul and beacon of support, left us on August 16, 2023.
She was a resident of Williamsburg, Kentucky, born and raised in Illinois, where her generous heart touched the lives of everyone she met. As Mother Teresa once said, “It’s not about how much you do, but how much love you put into what you do that counts.” Lori embodied this sentiment throughout her life, putting love into every action, every conversation, and every relationship.
Lori was a devoted wife to Troy Whidden, her loving husband. Together, they created a home filled with laughter, love, and countless memories. Lori was a supportive mother to her sons, Cord and Blake Conchas and a beloved mother-in-law to Cassandra Conchas. Her love for her family was immeasurable and she was the rock upon which they leaned. Lori also leaves behind her dear mother, Lois Nantz, her sister, Tammy Lopez and brother-in-law, Carmen Lopez, and her cherished nephews, Alejandro and Nicolas Lopez. Lori was preceded in death by her father, Calvin Caddell, her grandbaby, Baby Conchas, her brother, Craig Caddell, and her stepfather, Arvis Nantz. She also in preceded in death by a host of other family.
Lori had a spirited zest for life. She found joy in the simple pleasure of playing games on her phone, where she was known to be quite the digital competitor. However, what mattered most to Lori was her family and friends. As Charles Dickens once wrote, “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” Lori was a living testament to this quote, always ready to lend a hand, offer a word of encouragement, or share a comforting smile.
On behalf of the family, they would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the friends and family who supported Lori during her journey.
We invite everyone whose life was brightened by Lori’s generous spirit to share their memories and photos on her memorial page. Her life was a tapestry of love and kindness, and each one of your stories is a thread in that beautiful weave. As we remember Lori, let us continue to spread the compassion and support she so freely gave to us all.
