Born February 14, 1951, Laurette Kathryn Hawe; mother Leo Ann Humber, father Lawrence /Larry Hawe.

Laurie, an adventurous woman full of love, compassion, loyalty, and the ability to take care of others, was so beautiful.
She was a mother to Sean and Corry Casagranda, Gina Casagranda-Vargas and Mario Vargas, and a son she never met until now, Rick Desisto. I, as her son, was never not loved and always her baby boy, Allawicious she called me.
She lived in Butte for many years, and Alaska for a short time. She returned to Butte and when she retired from BSW, she chose to live in Arizona where she spent her last years. She loved us all and had a special love for her mother; they were very close.
"The love of her life", John Andrew Casagranda, those were her words in her last few days. She also cherished her relationship with Dave Batterman; she loved riding on the Harley.
She had 8 grandchildren, Dennis John, Zachary Peter, John Wayne Casagranda, Kathryn Denison Cannon, Evelynn McMichael, Catherine Dawn Mann, Kristina Marie Meade and Mackenzie Renee Robles. She also had the babies, her Great Grandchildren, Miley Grace, Olivia Joy Casagranda, Marcus and McKinley Goodenough, Pauly Cannon, Tanner, Taylin and Evan Meade, and Luna Robles. As well as many very loved Nieces and Nephews. Laurie was surrounded by her family in her last moments. Laurie passed peacefully into heaven with her children and grandchildren by her side. She will be dearly missed.
We will all miss her so much. We know with certainty that she is in heaven.
Celebration of life July 17, 2025 at 11 a.m. Duggan Dolan Mortuary 1805 Meadowlark Ln, Butte, MT 59701.
