Her dogs, especially her cherished Ellie, were like family to her, providing companionship and unconditional love.
Lauri was a fervent sports fan, proudly supporting the San Jose Sharks hockey team and cheering on the Syracuse Orange in college basketball. Whether she was attending a local craft fair, festival, or simply spending a Sunday afternoon with family, Lauri enjoyed every opportunity to connect with loved ones and community members.
