Daughter of Ted and Shirley (Zinninger) Camp, and a graduate of Glenwood High School (‘74). A graduate of Malone University (BA ‘78), Lori educated elementary scholars for 30 years in Plain Local Schools and earned accolades for her service in education including the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation Scholar Award.
