POWAY, Calif.—Lori Kaye is believed to have shielded her synagogue’s rabbi from a gunman’s bullets in a heroic move that epitomizes the life she led, her family and friends said Monday, April 29, as they remembered a woman dedicated to spreading kindness and helping others no matter what.
Kaye’s daughter, Hannah, said at her memorial service that she knows her mother would have forgiven the man who took her life Saturday when he opened fire during Passover service at the Chabad of Poway, in this suburban city north of San Diego.
