Longtime REALTOR, Board of Directors member and Broker of Stone House Properties, Lori Rose, died January 2, 2026, surrounded by her beloved husband Joe, family, and friends. She was an amazing volunteer for the Board and a true industry professional.  She served in many elected and appointed leadership positions throughout her 25 years as a REALTOR.  She was a current board member and on the important contract & forms committee. She served for years on professional standards as well.  Lori brought a calm, thoughtful and reasoned approach to decision making and always sought a positive and inclusive outcome when dealing with challenges.

Lori will be most remembered for her kindness, vivaciousness, her robust love of life, and her smile. She approached each encounter with warmth and humanity. She was an avid tennis player, swimmer (especially in the Bay at the Cape), hiker, dancer, and as the consummate hostess, created many memorable dinner parties for family and friends. She loved her friends and made each one feel they were the most important person in the world. She loved being swaddled in cashmere; she loved her dogs, Cordelia, Isaac, Cooper, and Oskar; and she always wished she spent more time with horses!

Lori leaves her husband Lloyd “Joe” Rose; her mother Martha Rugh; sister, Jodi Plever Reimer (Chas.); her nieces, Chelsey Reimer (Derek Edwards) and Jessa Doutt (Devin); her stepdaughter Katie Rose; her grandchild Jean-Luc Ruel; and a host of friends. She will be greatly missed by all. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Berkshire Humane Society. A celebration of life will be held in the spring, which we will share for all who are interested.  She will be missed greatly.
