Laura Lee Pierson

Laura Lee Pierson, age 75, of Hastings, Michigan, went to be with the Lord and others before her, peacefully with her loving husband Marshall of almost 49 years and family by her side on Sunday July 10, 2022.
Laura was born on February 12, 1947, in Hastings Michigan, the daughter of Ray Boise and Barbara Todd. Laura was the oldest of 3 daughters.
Laura attended Hastings High School. After leaving high school she went on to work for Hastings Piston Ring and Flexfab. During her time at Flexfab she became a supervisor and completed several classes including The Dale Carnegie Course. She would go on to begin a career as a Mortgage Broker in Grand Rapids, retiring in 2001 to watch her grandchildren full time.
In the summer of 1971 at a YMCA BBQ Dinner, Winnie Keller Foote introduced Laura Boise to Marshall Pierson. Laura and her 2 daughters Cindy and Maggie went on to marry Marshall Pierson on July 28, 1973. Laura and Marshall had their third daughter Angela to complete their family.
Laura enjoyed ceramics, line dancing, casinos, and camping. She would often go camping with Marshall and her parents Barb and Wendall "Toddy" Todd. They would often find a casino nearby where Laura's luck would hit every single time. On top of working full time, Laura was an amazing homemaker and cook. She would often be up before 5am every day and her girls would wake up to her either cleaning or ironing. Laura would never leave the house without her hair and makeup done and always dressed to the nine's. She was also a very savvy shopper, and any salesperson was never a match to her negotiation skills. She had a wit and sense of humor that is unmatched to any other and could make her family laugh.
Laura took great pride in her grandchildren. She taught them all about Elvis and Tom Brady, she treated them to chocolate bars and many homemade treats. She adored each of them and will watch over them every day.
Laura is preceded in death by her parents Ray Boise and Toddy and Barbara Todd, sister Molly Westrate, brother Raymond Boise Jr, nephew Richard Weedall, Brother-in-law Paul McClurkin, and granddaughter Lindsay Marie Jones.
She is survived by her husband of almost 49 years Marshall Pierson, daughter Cindy (Kevin) Echtinaw of Greenville, Maggie (David Cole) Pierson of Venice, Florida, and Angela (Jeff) Tinkler of Hastings. Her beautiful grandchildren Matt (Kristin) Jones, Emerald (Evan) Terry, Ceiara (Cody Selby) Norris, Pierson, Aubree, and Gavin Tinkler and Great Grand-Children Parker Selby, Apollo & Lucca Jones. Her special fur baby Marlee and her sister Karen McClurkin. She is also survived by several brothers and sisters in law and nieces and nephews.
Per Laura's wishes, there will be no public service held. A family memorial service at Fort Custer will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Girrbach Funeral Home. To leave an online condolence visit www. girrbachfuneralhome.net.
