Laurie was my best friend for over 40; years. I loved her personality and sense of humor. I talked to her every day since I moved to Arkansas. I will miss seeing her every summer when I came up. I will also miss seeing Jean. I love you Laurie and Jean.

Jean, Kellie and family
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. Laurie and I started out as co-workers at Treasury and soon became good friends. She was always cheerful, bubbly, funny and fun to be around, I don´t know anyone who didn´t like her. She was so talented and thoughtful in the gifts she made for people. Whether it was a candy jar, clock or calendar, they were all made special and I´m glad I still have mine. She made work and the world a better place and will be missed by many. Gone too soon, rest in peace Laurie, miss you, love you.

I worked with Laurie at Treasury. She called me every year on my birthday with her singing bear. She was always happy and pleasant to everyone. She made us calendars every year with everyone's birthdays and her picture on the back. Those were the best. I used mine on a daily basis. I will miss you
Laurie! The world was a better place with you in it. Love you Laurie!

I worked with Laurie at Treasury. Laurie´s cup was always half full! She always looked at the good side of things. Each birthday she sang to us with a musical bear that played Happy Birthday. Laurie made my son´s high school graduation invitations on her home computer and printer, they turned out great! I will miss our talks and her happy free spirit. We always ended our conversation with I Love you.....With that said I Love you Laurie
