Global Lori and her transgender brother, George Schappell, the oldest conjoined twins in history, passed away at the age of 62.
Leibensperger Funeral Homes produced online obituaries for Lori and her conjoined twin George, who tragically died on Sunday, April 7, in a Pennsylvania hospital.
The cause of their deaths is yet unknown. The twins disregarded medical forecasts that they wouldn't survive past the age of 30, despite having partially fused skulls at birth and sharing 30% of their brains.
Lori was physically fit, but George had spina bifida and relied on his sibling to carry him around in a wheelchair.
When George stated he was transgender in 2007 and started presenting himself as a man, they became the first set of conjoined twins of the same sex in history to identify as different genders.
George enjoyed fame as a country musician, and Lori continued to follow her love of ten-pin bowling, even taking home awards.
Lori was a hospital laundry employee in the 1990s, scheduling her shifts around George's engagements.
According to Guinness World Records, the conjoined twins were able to go to Germany and Japan as a result of George's popularity as a country singer.
When George, who was once named Dori, came out as transgender, they previously made news.
After George came out as a transgender guy in 2007, they were the first set of conjoined twins of the same sex to identify as different genders.
At that point, George changed his name from Reba to George, after his favorite Reba McEntire, whose name rhymed, because he didn't like it.
The twins alternated between their many pastimes while living alone in a two-bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania.
They alternated sleeping in one other's rooms and taking separate showers, with one standing outside the bath and the other using the shower curtain as a barrier.
On Friday, April 12, Guinness World Records tweeted, "We are saddened to learn of the deaths of the oldest living conjoined twins and oldest female conjoined twins ever, Lori and George Schappell."
