Owen May 3, 1957 – Aug. 19, 2004 Lori J. Owen passed away at her parent’s home in Camarillo on Aug. 19, at the age of 47, after a five-year battle with cancer. Lori was most well-known in the Tehachapi business community as the caring and determined loan officer of Sanwa Bank California and longtime member of the Tehachapi Kiwanis Club. Lori was a selfless person who always thought more of what she could do for others than her own needs. She had an irrepressible spirit that allowed her to face life with all its trials and even death itself with humor and determination. She fought valiantly over the course of her illness and her laughter and wit is what was most evident. Her kindness and generosity were the hallmarks of her life among us. Her family and friends have lost a great treasure. Lori is survived by her son Ryan, daughters Nicole and Katie, parents John and Barbara Ross, brother Michael and sisters Gina, Joni and especially Lisa, who became Lori’s saving grace and continually helped her children throughout her long battle. She will be greatly missed by her many friends/co-workers and her dear friend Roger. In lieu of flowers, Lori’s wishes were that donations be made to the Dustry Baird Fund at Bank of the West. A memorial service will be held at the Church of the Nazarene, located on Highline Road, on Saturday, Aug. 28, at 4 p.m. A reception will be held at Mountain Aire Estates clubhouse on Dennison Road directly after the service.
