Delores "Lori" Anderson, 93 of Sand Springs, Oklahoma passed from this life to be with her Heavenly Father on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 in Bristow, Oklahoma.

Delores was known by family and friends as Lori. She was a true "Prayer Warrior" whom everyone could depend on when prayer was needed, and she was one who put God first and cherished her relationship with Jesus Christ.
