Lorri Groeneveld Obituary

Lorri Jean Groeneveld, born July 24, 1957, to LeRoy "Gren" and Helen "Tootie" (Fjellested) Groeneveld in Madison, South Dakota, passed away on April 24, 2025 in Oshkosh. Lorri graduated from Oshkosh West High School in 1975 and went on to build a successful career- with AT&T/Lucent Technologies and Time Warner Cable before retiring at 48. In her early retirement years, she continued to share her time, people skills, and business savvy talents working part-time at Target and then at Parkview Health Center, before completely retiring in 2022.

Lorri had a pastime passion for many genres of music, classic movies, and Wisconsin sports, especially the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. She was also a devoted cat Mom, and her three beloved cats returned that affection fully.

Lorri will be deeply missed by her mother, Helen Groeneveld; her sister, Julie Schultz (John); her daughter, Erika Wilson (Ryan); and her three grandchildren, Trevor, Cooper, and Allyson. She was preceded in death by her father, LeRoy Groeneveld.

A private celebration of Lorri's life will be held at a later date.

One of the first, if not the first, friend I met when my family moved to W. 2nd Avenue in Oshkosh the summer before 9th grade! Oh the fun we had that summer!
Lorri was a friend throughout high school and her smile and laughter was infectious.......
My sincere condolences to her family.

I just received work that Lorri has passed away, I just can't believe it. Memories span from when we met in Junior High, through years in drum corps; first the Oshkosh Warriors then the Appleton Americanos. I'm so very sad to know she's gone. Love to Tootie, Julie, her daughter (she had your name picked out long before you came into this world!), son-in-law and lovely grandkids. We used to sit in her room and listen to 45's she received from an aunt, to this day I can sing the words to "Dance with me Henry," what a hoot! I'm crying now. I miss you Lorri, I will never forget all we went through together.
