Norton introduced a statement into the congressional record honoring Yarrish, who passed on August 6, 2018, for her lifetime of outstanding work in the arts and her contributions to the cultural development of the District of Columbia. Norton will present her congressional record statement for Yarrish at the service. Yarrish was Norton's cousin. Lori was beloved by her family, friends and colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution for her irresistible spirit and passion for the arts and her outstanding work in bringing and promoting the arts to the D.C. community, Norton said. She was a leader and inspiration to so many. She will be sorely missed, but her contributions to the District and the Smithsonian will live on. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
