Lynn – Lori Martin, age 59 of Lynn, MA, loving daughter, sister, mother, and “Nini”, unexpectedly entered eternal rest on February 9, 2021.
Lori is survived by her 4 children, Alysha Monfette and partner Freddie Bragan, Nicholas Monfette and partner Anabella, Sean Haddigan and wife Karnya, and Keith Haddigan and his fiance Heather Parsons. Her 5 grandchildren, who were the light of her life, Lilliana, Lucas, Keith Jr, Serena, and Alivia. Her siblings Tracy Lithway and husband Scott, Daniel Martin and wife Kim, Heather Martin and partner Justin Beattie, her mother Lynne Devine, and her nieces and nephew.
Lori was beautiful and her laugh was infectious, she made up the funniest phrases and she was known to exaggerate just a little bit. She would also be the first person to bluntly tell you if you put on a couple of pounds and give you the honest truth even if you didn’t want to hear it. She was a spitfire, who overcame a lot of hard things that life threw at her, and in the second half of her life she thrived as “Nini”. When Lori wasn’t spending time with her family, she was collecting owls, changing her hair color, adding to her clothing and shoe collection, texting Lilliana (her best friend) the latest gossip, and cleaning her house spotlessly.
In her 50s, Lori went back to school, and not only crushed it with high honors obtaining her Associates in Science as a Human Services Practitioner, but she got two certificates in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling. Helping those who were suffering from addiction was important to her having had 12 years of sobriety. There were countless people that she counseled and supported both as part of work and as a friend, many who attribute that support to saving them.
Lori was met at the gates of heaven by her father John Daniel Martin, Jr., the fathers of her children, Bryan Monfette and Kevin Haddigan, Brady, and her grandparents.
Service Information: A celebration of life will be held in her honor. Donations in her name can be made to a substance abuse support organization of your choice.
