She was born in Buffalo, N.Y., and had been a Peninsula resident for 30 years.

More recently, she worked for Peninsula Property Management.
Survivors include her parents, Deane and Gail Cunningham of Hampton; her companion, Norm Goeres of Yorktown; two children, Julie Burke of Warren, Ohio, and Brent Goeres of Yorktown; two brothers, Jeff Cunningham and his wife, Jessica of Hampton, and Doug Cunningham and life partner, Tom Newman of Norfolk; and her 2 'Rots', Miah and Max.
A memorial service will be held Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, at 7 p.m. at First Apostolic Church, 814 N. Mallory Street, Hampton.

Where to begin? Laurie I miss you more than any mere words could ever convey...It goes beyond that. We met many years ago at "The Chesapeake" as it's now known.. we became fast friends.. and have remained so ever since. You were and always will be an inspiration to me. You lived your life with selfless love for others- not to mention our four legged friends.
Life allowed us to cross paths.. and I am grateful for your words, your friendship and love.
To Norman and the family I wish to convey my condolences to you. I hope that you will find some comfort in the memories and laughter she gave freely and shared with us all.
I will miss her greatly.
Love,
