Lori Jean Peck Bilanzich Obituary (1959 - 2021)

Lori Peck Bilanzich passed away on September 9, 2021, becoming an angel free from pain, and flew into the loving arms of her soul mate, sweetheart and husband, Joe Bilanzich. Lori was born March 2, 1959 in Yakima, Washington to Ronald and Jean Peck. She married Joseph Dean Bilanzich and together they had two amazing daughters, Joelene and Camille who they centered their lives around on their farm in Liberty, Utah. Although she was diagnosed with MS at a young age, the farm was the perfect place for her to remain active and connect with nature. She loved animals, gardening, and the outdoors. Lori and Joe could be found at one of their many fishing holes on the weekends. She especially loved the birds and would constantly sing, “I’m a bird watcher!” With Lori you never had to wonder how she felt about things or where you stood with her. Lori was “one of a kind” with her ability to organize, label, mark, and categorize the world around her. Lori’s family and friends benefited from her attention to detail by spontaneously receiving greeting cards and letters expressing love to them. Lori’s true calling in life was being a grandmother. Lori was the happiest when she was in the presence of or bragging about her grandchildren. She enjoyed every grandchild in their own unique way. Each activity, event, or game was a source of pride for Lori even if she was unable to attend. Now Lori will have the best seat in the house and be able to watch over them throughout their lives. This will be her life legacy. She is survived by her siblings: Derek L. Peck, Nick Carlise, Ron C. Peck, Michael P. Peck, and Toni D. Colon; daughters, Joelene Jean and Camille May; her five grandchildren: Maggie May, Crash Louis, Joey Rae, Zolton George, and Delilah Josephine; and special friends: Lael, Sherrie, Maria, and Rob. Lori was preceded in death by her parents and her loving husband, Joe. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at Murray City Cemetery, 5600 South Vine Street, Murray, Utah. “Mom, your presence and guidance are deeply missed. WE LOVE YOU!”
