Laurie loved to travel. Hawaii was her favorite, she also loved to visit Colorado.  Laurie loved all animals but especially her two cats, Maxine and Lilly. She enjoyed crafting, entertaining, and dancing (especially to Elvis). She claimed to be the best "Mashed Potatoes" dancer…. and she was.  Laurie had a big smile, a hearty laugh, and made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable.  She was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

A special thank you to the staff at St. Monica's Senior Living for their loving and compassionate care from the beginning to the end.   Also, a heartfelt thank you to Carissa from St. Croix Hospice for her loving care and expertise as she was a true comfort for Laurie.  A final thanks  to her longtime friend, Sandy, who spent many hours visiting, reminiscing, and comforting Laurie when it was needed most.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, September 24th at 10: 00am at Holy Cross Cemetery, 5600 Holy Cross, Road, Racine.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
