Lori A. Davis

On May 16, 2025, God sent his Heavenly Angels to Portside Health & Rehab Center in Portsmouth, VA, to bring his daughter Lori Ann Davis to a peaceful rest in his arms. A native of Carrollton VA, and lived in Suffolk, VA. Lori graduated from Smithfield High School in 1981 . Lori was born on June 24,1962, the middle daughter of the late Bainbridge "Hoopie Cat" and Mary Frances Byrd-Robinson. Lori was preceded in death by her brothers Lonnie Junius “Motor” Robinson, Reginald Jordan and nephew Lonnie Junius “Scooby Doo” Mann. Lori accepted Christ at a young age and joined Campbell’s Chapel AME Church. Lori was employed at McKoys Seafood Kitchen in Hampton for 5 years in Hampton, VA until they closed, also Smithfield Foods for 29 years until her health began to decline.

Lori loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them, but especially her granddaughter, who is the” Princess” of the house. Lori was one to always stay engaged whether it would be cooking for her family, singing to K. Michelle, or running around assisting others. Lori had an embracing energy, with a smile and laugh that could brighten any room. She was always intentional about being involved whether laughing, joking, or dancing she made everyone feel welcomed when they drop in to visit. She was truly a devoted, proud, and supportive mother of her children through the all ups and downs that life threw at her. Lori's strength beamed until the very end.

Her precious memories will be cherished by her daughter Destiny Robinson of Suffolk,VA, son Raymond Robinson of New Orleans, LA and granddaughter Kamoria Robinson of Suffolk, VA; brother Nathaniel Robinson of Hampton VA; two sisters, Rose Urquhart (Ronell)of Waverly VA and Frances Johnson(Kerry) of Portsmouth VA; uncle Dennis Batten(Anna) of Chesapeake,VA and a host nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
