Laurie K. Howe, age 75, passed away August 16, 2025, at St. Monica’s Senior Living, Racine.  She was born to William F. and Irene S. (Nee: Mano) Howe on October 3, 1949. She is survived by her brother James J. Howe of Redgranite, Wisconsin and her sister Karen A. Marrier of Englewood Colorado and Karen’s children Monique Willson of Walnut Creek, California, and Marc Marrier of Englewood, Colorado. Laurie was preceded in death by her sister, Susan J. Jaimes and is further survived by Susan’s children, Leonel “Lee” Jaimes and Leslie Jaimes.

Laurie graduated from Holy Trinity Grade School and in 1968 from Saint Catherine’s High, which she followed up with a career in manufacturing working for Dremel Manufacture and Insinkerator.

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.

    We wish to extend our deepest condolences to all the family. I knew Laurie for many years working at Dremel and we had lots of laughs and fun times then. She and I then worked at InSinkErator for many years. My husband worked there also and so we both knew Laurie . May she RIP.
