Laurie was a proud mother of two daughters, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
She spent her time as a homemaker. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, and spending time with her family and friends.
She worked a variety of occupations that include but are not limited to: a chef, graduating with honors from Detroit Lakes Culinary School in 1990-1991 as class president with a 4.0 GPA! She spent some years bartending, housekeeping, painting ceramics and making jewelry. She really shined at her last job as a Mental Health PCA in Detroit Lakes, MN. She moved to Grand Haven, MI in 2010 to spend time with her sisters and brothers.
Laurie loved to travel, spending time outdoors, sewing, crocheting, arts, crafts and playing games. She served in the church being involved in many ministries: puppet team, drama team, outreach and food. Laurie was a Prayer Warrior at heart and was always praying for us all. Her prayers will be greatly missed. Laurie was a blessing to all who knew and loved her.
