Lori and I worked together for 5 years, I was her EA and we just clicked. Our working styles were very different, but we complemented each other, and we became really close. Lori lived life to the full, making the most of every opportunity. She flew around the globe with work and on many occasions would step off an overnight flight and come into UCL for meetings – full of energy and enthusiasm and looking as glamourous as always! I still don’t know how she did it. Lori was generous of her time, and although she had a busy workload she would always make time for people and she was incredibly supportive. Taking on new opportunities with great enthusiasm, Lori was also brilliant at connecting the right people. Bizarrely, there was often an Aberdeen connection with many people she met and we used to joke that all roads lead back to Aberdeen. My fond memories of Lori involve sparkle, a quote (or two) and Pret! Lori and I must have been to Pret hundreds of times – we both loved their hot chocolates and had a weakness for their pastries and chocolate bar - we were definitely a bad influence on each other. We probably all know how much Lori loved a quote and she always managed to choose the perfect quote at the most opportune moment. And sparkle – Lori always added that extra sparkle to everything she touched, making an event that little bit brighter and special, or making a meeting that little bit more interesting and fun. Lori’s energy and enthusiasm was infectious and she always brightened up a room. Lori, my dear friend, I miss you greatly. You have touched my life in so many ways, that I feel you are close by and you are often with me. Thank you for your friendship and kindness – it was wonderful to know you and you definitely added that extra sparkle to my life too.

In a twist on something Albert Camus once wrote - Everything's already been said, but despite the fact that everyone was listening, it'll have to be said all over again. Lori worked for my husband, Prof Sir Duncan Rice, at Aberdeen University, where she grew, advanced and flourished. And where Duncan and I secretly believed he really worked for her. She engaged with the most ambitious and ultimately most successful fundraising campaign there with great impact. But more than simply engage or lead, she understood. Understood how to spark interest, loyalty, commitment in others. Understood that such a university plays on an international stage. Understood people and institutions and that the long-term that matters. Understood as well how to find an acceptable shirt and tie in NYC when Duncan's suitcase failed to arrive with the plane, how to keep him calm when a flight was late, how to get the most out of those long hours in the airport lounge, understood how to face into any challenge and deal with it. He's always believed that so much of the success of the University during their time was down to Lori's talent, skill, understanding and because they shared a similar ambition for it. We've known Dominic for a long time as well, and Poppy since she was a little girl, sitting in the launch at the annual universities boat race. And, in an odd twist of fate, my daughter found herself working in Lori's operation at UCL a few years back. Lots of intertwining threads for which we will always be grateful. Grateful for those and for her charm and friendship and unerring belief that good things could happen. She was one of the best.

Such fond memories of working together when I was at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. UCL was an important partner and Lori was always so supportive and encouraging of what we were doing for the hospital and for the Institute of Child Health and really made us feel valued by the UCL community. She was a great champion for philanthropy and the power of partnerships and had such a terrific sense of humour. I always enjoyed our time together. What a wonderful contribution she made in so many ways. She will be missed by so many people and so many organisations.

Lots of great memories of our work together at UCL and of our time together in service to CASE in cities (and airport lounges) across the globe. My favourite was meeting-up for brunch (and screwdriver cocktails) late morning in a sunny Filmore, San Francisco! We ordered waffles with grits & gravy (which was pretty gross!) but we loved the live soul band and catching-up about families and travel. Later that night we sang together on the karaoke in a bar in downtown San Fran - I was Elton John and you were Kiki Dee for our "unique" rendition of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". I know from all of our calls and Zoom chats during lockdowns that you want us all to keep singing, keep drinking cocktails and to keep having fun - and remembering you. Rest in Peace my friend. "Oh, you put the sparks to the flame...I got your heart in my sights" (Don't Go Breaking My Heart)

I first met Lori when she was at the University of Aberdeen, but got to know her much better when I joined the CASE Europe Board. Lori was Vice-Chair when I chaired the Board. Put simply, Lori was a force of nature. An advancement professional who was much loved by the teams she led in Aberdeen and UCL and by those of us who were fortunate to know her and work with her. Brilliant, insightful and with that down-to-earth approach which characterised everything she did. All of us in the sector admired the amazing impact which she had on higher education through her fantastic leadership of UCL's fundraising campaign and more broadly as Vice-Provost. On a more personal level, I and fellow members of the CASE community were immensely lucky to share Lori's company on many occasions. Those occasions were always convivial and great fun. Inevitably we spoke at length about Scotland - she would always have questions about what was happening 'back home'. Thank you Lori, for all you gave, and for all we learned from you as fellow higher education professionals.

Lori was an outstanding leader, brilliant at sharing her vision and enthusing people. I always remember going into a meeting with her with a team that felt a bit tired and overwhelmed. Ten mins with Lori talking about a particular project and they came out bursting with excitement about how brilliant working on it was going to be. She was generous, giving and made work feel like fun. I'll always feel lucky to have worked with her and grateful for how much she supported and encouraged me.

I have so many fond memories of Lori that it’s hard to know where to start. To begin at the beginning, we first met as faculty on the inaugural CASE Marketing Institute in the countryside around Edinburgh. It was a very cold January and, of course, we got snowed in. The hotel bar opened late and Lori introduced me the joys of a fine, single malt, whisky. Over the week, we worked our way across the shelf and decided that my taste was for the 18 year old Macallen. Since then, we have been friends as well as colleagues and CASE playmates across the globe. Lori was always a force to be reckoned with both professionally and socially. After the intense hard work, there was always the fun: elegant dinners in Hong Kong, down town karaoke in San Francisco, mini bar parties in Amsterdam, family Sunday lunches at her house or mine and New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Ivy Club. All memories that raise a smile. But perhaps my favourite Lori memory was when Adrian and Zoe Punaks asked us to make a joint speech at their wedding celebration. Lori had just landed the big job at UCL and told me she was determined to steal Adrian away from Birkbeck to be her UCL deputy. I put up a brave fight but knew Adrian was destined for the starry lights next door. So, it was a great joy when we were invited to the wedding and asked to jointly tell some anecdotes about the bride and groom. We had the most fabulous day watching the brilliant young talent of the future come together and we took our moment on the microphone - with deep love and just a little mischievous intent. Lori was a powerful, gifted HE leader. She blasted her way through glass ceilings with quiet charm and naked ability. She was the global advancement guru. But more than all that Lori was the proud Mum of Poppy and the loving wife of Dom. Her legacy in all quarters is impressive. I raise a glass to you phenomenal woman – from that bottle of 18 year old Macallen you gave me a while back! I can’t believe you’re gone. I knew you were very ill but I always thought you would live forever.

I have so many memories of fun events at glamorous locations with Lori, usually attached to a CASE board meeting or conference. But also how amazingly supportive she was to me personally, the organisation, the professional community, other trustees, and how she exemplified leadership and kindness in everything she did. I first met her at the CASE 2008 conference in Brighton, she was still working at Aberdeen and Sir Duncan Rice was chair of the Board. She immediately followed up and met me and offered support, and she went on to volunteer in a big way for CASE. Was a member of the inaugural faculty for the Strategic Marketing Institute, a track chair on the Annual Conference, a trustee, deputy Chair of the CASE Europe board. And more. She was always insightful and thoughtful, and practical. A brilliant leader of her teams at Aberdeen and UCL, and the wider HE advancement community. My favourite memory is the one time, she, Tricia King and Peter Agar stayed on in Amsterdam after a board meeting and we pulled together all the mini-bar stock from our various rooms and had an absolute blast. You lived well Lori, and I'll miss you so much.

It was always a pleasure to see Lori, usually at CASE events. She was insightful and cared deeply about colleagues and education. Lori was so proud of the campaign at UCL and its transformative ambitions. I also remember though her delight in showing photos of the details of the campaign launch - those ice-cubes that had been a surprise to her too. She was generous in sharing moments from her course at Columbia. In particular she spoke of those times when an insight had really landed with her; conscious I think of being a women in a leadership position in an emerging profession and wanting to be generous in sharing that. I hope that her family, and Poppy, in particular will be proud of the path she created for so many others. My thoughts are with them.

When I was Chair of CASE Europe, Lori was a trustee and I got to know her well. My memories are of her, Kate Hunter and me, with other trustees, decamping to a bar in whatever European city the meeting was being held and then laughing and laughing for hours on end. She was inspirational, funny, very professional and deeply human. Her leadership at UCL was exemplary and it was great to be back in touch with her through my work at Moorfields Eye Charity. The university philanthropy community is very special in the way each helps out the other and Lori was leading exponent of that.We shall miss her dreadfully but, even now, her memory makes me smile and, maybe, that is the most important and special thing I can say about her. Sleep well, Lori, your legacy lives on in Poppy, Dom and all you left behind at Aberdeen and UCL xxx

It was a privilege to have been part of Lori's journey to joining UCL and we were delighted to have worked so closely and positively with her throughout her time at the institution. Ever-positive, with a fantastic sense of humour and real zest for life. She will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with all her family and friends at this difficult time. Peter Viqueira (Odgers)

I was very fortunate to know Lori through her volunteer work at CASE. She was an amazing person and a brilliant volunteer. I remember when I first started at CASE she was one of our Trustees and I use to have to go to visit her to get her to sign our big cheques. She was always so gracious with her time. As I developed in my career I was extremely lucky to have her as a mentor. We use to meet once a month on a Tuesday, I called these sessions "Tuesdays with Lori", I couldn't quite believe how fortunate I was, here was the Vice Provost of Advancement at UCL giving me an hour of her valuable time once a month. Definitely a highlight of my career. Her advice and guidance has helped me so much and she always made me feel at ease , I will be forever grateful for those invaluable Tuesday sessions. Lori will be sorely missed and very well remembered. My thoughts and sympathy go out to her family, friends and colleagues. Leigh Cleghorn, Deputy Director for Europe, CASE.
