Obituary

Lori Weems Evers (Lori Kaye Weems) daughter of the late, William Zachary (Bill) Weems and Mary Kate (Suzy) Halbert Weems, was born September 26, 1968, in Lubbock, TX and passed to life eternal the week of April 22, 2022, in her home in Mary Esther, Florida.

Lori loved her family, her friends, and her life. She lived life to its fullest. Deeply loyal, passionately loving, and fiercely caring to all she loved and the causes she supported. We will miss her but know she has been restored to eternal life because of her faith in Jesus Christ.

Lori graduated from Nacogdoches High School. She earned her BA in 1990, her Masters in English, and then her law degree in 1994 all from Baylor University. After graduating first in her class at Baylor School of Law in 1994, she clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Lori Weems Evers fought, for people in areas of Family, Criminal, Probate and Government Law. She was an experienced & accomplished Florida attorney with over 20 years' experience.

In 2017, Lori made the decision to return to her roots in the law, representing people who could not fight for themselves. An expert on the Florida Constitution and its interrelation with complex statutory and regulatory schemes, Lori could spot legal issues decisively and accurately. Most importantly, she used her experiences lobbying opinion makers and leaders to solve her client's problem as quickly, creatively, inexpensively, and painlessly as possible.

Lori fought tirelessly for children and was recognized by The Florida Bar, Lawyers for Children America, the American Bar Association and Holland & Knight's highest awards for representing Florida's most vulnerable. Lori met her late husband, Greg Evers, in politics and they made their home in Baker, Florida.
