Lori Hattrick Primasing passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 10, 2025, after a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born on May 14, 1962, in Rockville Centre, New York, Lori was the second eldest daughter of William and Barbara Hattrick and was raised in Southampton alongside her five siblings. A gifted athlete, she played tennis and floor hockey all four years at Southampton High School, where her natural athleticism, competitiveness and discipline began to shine.
Lori earned admission to Villanova University, was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority and graduated in 1984 with a degree in Business. She began her professional journey on Wall Street, embarking on a successful ten-year career in finance. Lori started as a bond salesperson at Carroll, McEntee & McGinley (later acquired by HSBC) and eventually transferred to San Francisco–where a classic office romance introduced her to the love of her life, Michael.
The two were married in 1988 and eventually settled in Alamo, California, where they raised their two sons, Steven and Daniel. She retired in 1998 to happily became a stay at home mom to take care of the boys, Lori was an active and devoted member of St. Isidore Church in Danville, volunteering regularly and chairing the school’s annual auction. She was also deeply involved at Round Hill Country Club, where she served on multiple committees and the board of directors. She enjoyed traveling, entertaining, playing tennis and watching her sons rugby and lacrosse games at De La Salle High School.
In 2022, Lori and Michael moved to South Carolina, where she quickly became a vibrant part of the community. She loved boating on the lake with family and friends, and became an excellent Pickleball player and a frustrated golfer. She had a fun love of card and board games and could spend hours playing with family and friends. A talented cook and gracious hostess, Lori loved nothing more than gathering friends and family around her table. Her dinner parties were legendary–always warm, welcoming, and filled with laughter and incredible food.
What set Lori apart was not just how much she gave, but how effortlessly she gave it–her time, her energy, her heart. She didn’t need the spotlight to shine; she lit up the room simply by being in it. Her favorite motto was “Always be Humble and Kind” and that is exactly how she lived her life.
Lori is survived by Michael, her devoted husband of 37 years, her two sons Steven of New York City, Daniel of Dallas and her father William Hattrick, along with her siblings Lynn, Erin, Kerry, Ellen, and Sean all of Southampton, NY.
Steven and Daniel have both been on trips with Children of the Nations, with Daniel having traveled to Uganda and Steven having traveled to Malawi and Sierra Leone.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may made to Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Children of the Nations.
