LORI KAE DUNLAP BALL

VAN WERT — Lori Kae Dunlap Ball, 51, of Van Wert and formerly of the Spencerville area, died the morning of Feb. 18, 2015, at her residence following a sudden illness.

She was born Dec. 9, 1963, in Lima, to Warren Lynn and Marilyn June Lewis Dunlap. Her mother survives in Delphos. Her father and stepmother, Linda Jane Dunlap, survive in Lima.

Ms. Dunlap Ball was a 1982 graduate of Elida High School. She recently earned her diploma in massage therapy from the Institute of Therapeutic Message of Lima. She was a very energetic woman who was full of life. She always had a smile on her face, with a laugh that was contagious. She was a very likeable person with a big heart who would do anything for anyone. When she wasn't working one of her many jobs, she enjoyed reading, volunteering at the Equestrian Therapy program, exercising and visiting with loved ones. She was a very goal-oriented smart woman who always strived to do her best. She will always be missed, but for now her love will move on through the many lives she has touched.

She worked with the aquatics classes at the Van Wert YMCA and the Lima YMCA; Bath and Body at the Lima Mall, Dr. Leahy Fitness of Lima and Everybodies of Van Wert and volunteered at the Fassett Farm of Equestrian Therapy program near Lima.

Survivors also include three daughters, Natalie Kaye (Jesse) Mackey, of Zenia, Jennifer Nicole (Josh) Sherrick, of Elida, and Susan Renae Ball, of Spencerville; five grandchildren, Chloe Sherrick, Abigail Mackey, David Ball Rettig, Julia Mackey and baby boy Sherrick; two brothers, Steve (Sue) Dunlap, of Elida, and Doug (Cathy) Dunlap, of Spencerville; and several nieces and nephews.

Services will begin at 10:30 a.m. Monday at Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home, Spencerville. The Rev. Szobonya will officiate. Burial will be in Spencerville Cemetery.
