Laurie Hitchcock Obituary

We are saddened to announce the passing of Laurie Ann Mulligan Hitchcock, daughter of Robert and Jacqueline Mulligan. At the age of 51, Laurie passed on Jan. 22, 2013, at 7:32 p.m., after a long battle with ovarian cancer. A private service will be held to memorialize Laurie at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco, where she will be laid to rest Monday, Jan. 28.

A 1979 graduate of Jefferson Moore high school in Waco, Laurie went on to graduate from McLennan Community College in 1993 with an Associate's degree in criminal justice.

Laurie is survived by her husband, Brendan Hitchcock; her daughter, Angela Huddle; her son, Patrick Noll; and her grandson, Weston Huddle.

With a "Let it go" attitude, Laurie could always be found tending to her horses, playing with her six cats and more importantly, spoiling her grandson.

God saw you getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so he wrapped his arms around you, and whispered "come with me."

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for just one more day, one more word, one more touch, one more visit. We may not understand why you had to leave this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too treasure always..." -"Will Family";Debbie ,Terry, Bubba, Barbara, Carolyn & Kyle

She was a wonderful sister-in-law. I will miss our daily phone calls and her trips to Waco for our visits. Our word to each other was "Patience".
