Lori was a potter, owned Nelson’s Pottery, held pottery classes in her home studio, and was a teacher at The Adams County Arts Council. Lori attended Gettysburg Bible Baptist Church.

Not only was Lori always creating with her hands, she continually used them to help others in their time of need. She was very crafty, made wedding cakes, and enjoyed cooking. She looked forward to puzzle and board game days with friends. Lori loved the color green and loved frogs. Her favorite place to go for rest and relaxation was Camp Gorog in Potter County.

She is survived by her parents of Dover; her husband of 33 years, David Nelson; daughters, Colleen Hardman and husband Jason of Aspers, Ashley Cordero and husband Brandon of Aspers, and Kailee Mae Nelson O’Handly and husband James of York; grandchildren, Gage Cordero and Willow Hardman; and sister Beth Musser and husband Jeff of Dillsburg.
