Lori Manthei

Lori A. Manthei, 56, died in her sleep at her Grafton home Monday, Sept. 16.

She was born in Port Washington on Sept. 25, 1962, to Henry and Marianne Narlock.  She graduated from Port Washington High School and received an associate’s degree from Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Ms. Manthei worked at TMP Directional Marketing in southern Ozaukee County for 27 years, until the company closed. Most recently, she was an office administrator at Oerlikon Friction Systems in Mequon.

She enjoyed working with people and took a part-time job at the Riverview Inn in Saukville “for the fun of it,” her family said.

She was active in the Boy Scouts with her sons and volunteered at the Ozaukee Humane Society.  

Ms. Manthei’s family said she enjoyed home decorating, tending to her flower gardens, taking her dog Henry for walks on the beach, playing pickleball and off-roading with her fiance.

Ms. Manthei is survived by her sons Joseph and Noah, both of the Town of Grafton; mother Marianne Narlock of Port Washington; fiance Troy Liebenstein of Grafton; and his daughter Nichole Liebenstein of Sheboygan.  

She is further survived by sisters Roseanne (David Dillard) Narlock of Delaware and Sindi Narlock of Oregon, Wis.

She was preceded in death by her father Henry.

The Rev. Brian Dainsberg officiated a funeral service Saturday, Sept. 21, at Poole Funeral Home in Port Washington.    

Interment was at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Port Washington.
