Lori Ann Brenner, 52, of Chippewa, passed away on July 14th, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born in Rochester on May 3rd, 1973, the beloved daughter of Michelle (Wayne) Perkins of New Brighton and Rudy (Cindy) Vukas of Beaver Falls. She was a proud graduate of New Brighton High School who earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Geneva College and then went on to earn her Master’s Degree from the University of Michigan.
Lori was a dedicated professional, serving as a Training Manager in the Pharmaceutical Division at Bayer since 2013. She was known not only for her intelligence and work ethic but also for her deep compassion, sense of humor, and competitive spirit.
She was a true animal lover who especially adored her five cats: Pepper, Snickers, Daphne, Bongo and Brodie, who brought her endless joy. She was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and a fan of fun at Dave & Buster’s who enjoyed countless hours of gaming with her husband and son at Pac-Man, Skeeball and arcade games. She found immense joy and happiness in traveling and exploring new places. Lori was widely traveled and enjoyed the diverse cultures and rich history of her many adventures.
Lori was also deeply involved in the NFT community on X (formerly Twitter), where she was known as Queen VeVe. Through this platform, she raised a substantial amount for the First Responders Children’s Foundation, a cause close to her heart. She was committed to supporting children who had lost a parent in the line of duty, helping ensure they received toys during the holidays and access to educational opportunities. Lori hoped to grow her involvement with the foundation and continue making a difference for these families.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her devoted husband of three years, William B. Keifer, her cherished son, Maxwell D. Brenner and a host of close family members and friends. Her loving spirit, unwavering generosity, and fierce loyalty will be remembered by all who knew her.
A Memorial Visitation will be held on Sunday July 20th from 12 noon-3 p.m. in the Noll Funeral Home Inc., 333 Third Street, Beaver, who was in charge of her arrangements. Online condolences may be shared at www.nollfuneral.com.
