Obituary – Lori Annette Burress




Lori Annette Burress, 53, of Shelbyville, Kentucky, formerly of Lebanon, KY passed away on January 14, 2019.  She was preceded in death by her Mother, Martha Alice Burress, her sister, Cynthia Tinnell and her nephew Jonathan Livers.

Lori is survived by her husband William Birch, father Bobby Joe Burress, brother George Burress, niece Tessa Livers, great nephew Ezrakai Livers and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Lori was a longtime employee of Richfield Video Productions and designed numerous years of posters for the Shelbyville Horse Show. Lori won the Roberta Eddington Sportsmanship award in 2005 at the Shelbyville Horse Show.

Lori always had a special zest for life.  Her personality, beauty, and smile would light up a room when she walked in. She was a lover of animals, especially dogs and horses.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.  Memorial gifts are suggested to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Kentucky.
