Lori L. (Miller) Wirts, 63, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 9, 2022. She was born September 12, 1958, to David and Ella (Miles) Miller in Danville, IL.

Lori graduated from Middleton High School in 1976, and attended Milwaukee Area Technical College. She was a successful entrepreneur, avid traveler, and a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

As an active member of the community, Lori was a member of Grace Church, Red Hat Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, and currently served on the Village Board in New Glarus. She had previously served as the President and District Director of the Barneveld Jaycees and was a member of the Swiss Belles.

She was a gifted singer, had a beautiful and fun fashion sense, and she was always quick with a "dad" joke or funny gift. Lori was known for her beautiful smile, warm hugs, giving spirit, and her devotion to her friends and family. She was a warrior in Christ leading many to salvation over the years, including her former husband, Jim Wirts, who precedes her in death.
