RIP Lori Bacci

I was sad to hear that Lori Bacci had died at the end of August.

Lori had been sick for awhile, so now she is at peace. She died on August 21st, right before her 51st birthday. (Info)

Lori often participated on Bay Ridge Community Facebook pages. Lori often spoke out for safety and women.

Lori was a firecracker and sassy. Sometimes Lori clashed with other residents online because she bluntly stated her opinion. But one this was always evident, Lori loved Bay Ridge.

When Lori loved a Bay Ridge business, she shared photos of the food and promoted it. I think she loved that Bay Ridge was so diverse because she loved authentic food from different cultures.

Lori grew up on 62nd Street in Sunset Park and went to OLPH.

Lori lived several places in Bay Ridge with her cat. Most recently, she lived on 86th Street, so she was able to take interesting photos of protests in the area.

Another thing about Lori was she cared about others and she was generous towards people who needed help. A friend of Lori’s told me that Lori always made her laught.

RIP Lori – you will be missed.
