Laurie was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and grandchildren and embraced every moment with them. Whether supporting her family through difficulties or passions, she made it her mission to be there for them, often putting herself last. She enjoyed being active in her children’s activities.

She loved spending time with her different rescue dogs over the years and her newest rescue, Pinky. She was known to her friends as a sweet, gentle, caring soul and someone who could rouse up a good laugh.
