Lauri Kelly Obituary
Preceding Lauri in death were her grandparents, Dick and Dorothy Foster, Issac and Betty Goodwin and Archie and Rema Lauer. Lauri was also preceded in death by her stepfather, Warren Arthur Lauer, brothers, Erik Wade Goodwin and Dustin Arthur Lauer.
Lauri is survived by her son, Marshall Douglas Kelly [Rachael], her father and mother, her sisters, Jodi Lauer Deberard and Shannon Lauer, her brother Aaron Goodwin. and her nieces, Erin Conley [Andrew], Betty Goodwin Casas [Carlos] and Sharon Deberard. Also surviving Lauri are aunts and uncles, Trudy and Karl McCraken and Karen and Jeff Foster. There are many more aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends, too many to mention currently.
Lauri graduated from Laramie Senior High School in 1984. On May 14, 1993, she earned an Associate Degree of Applied Science in Medical Secretary at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. While in Lewiston Lauri produced a successful variety program called "Cheers to Charity" recognizing organizations that provide services for the under privileged. She was nominated for and received the JCPenny Golden Rule Award and cherished a letter from the White House signed by President Bill Clinton commending her dedication to volunteerism.
Lauri will be remembered by all who loved her as humble and kind, always putting others' care and concern above her own.
Lauri had a beautiful voice and reluctantly shared her talent with her family. She also had a love for all animals, especially her two kittens, Kiki and Scooter. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to the Laramie Animal Shelter would be appreciated.
Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of life will be held in the Spring of 2025 when family can safely get together.
Most importantly, Lauri had deep faith and love for her Savior, Jesus Christ. She is now at peace in his loving embrace.
