Dear, dear, funny, smart, gorgeous singer......Laurie. I loved knowing you at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert. You were a light to all who knew you. I have missed you so.

My love and prayers surround the whole family. This obituary is a lovely tribute to an amazing woman.Peace, prayers and blessings. Joanna

Laurie and I crossed paths because singing with Kimberly Jeter-Hall is a joy that neither one of us would miss out on. Laurie's musical gifts and her generosity with those gifts were appreciated by all who were fortunate enough to share them. Bless her family and friends with good memories of life, love and laughter with her to help them through their sorrow.

Laurie was an amazing presence in the Raincross Chorale, and later, Raincross Master Chorale, in which she often sang solos. She will be dearly missed.

I always enjoyed having lunch with Laurie. She always had a way to make me feel good about myself. She sang at my wedding and her sisters sang as a trio at my mother's memorial service. Their voices will live in my memory forever. She is missed.

I had the pleasure to work with Laurie for several High Holy Days at Temple Sinai. Her voice and persona were both angelic. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

In remembrance of Laurie who was a gift in voice and personality. She is missed.

I am so saddened to hear that Laurie passed away unexpectedly. She was a wonderful person and singer. I greatly appreciated having the opportunity to sing with her in St. Margaret's choir and the High Holy Days at Temple Sinai. She will be sorely missed. .
