Laurie had a love for people and a heart for serving others. She influenced many people in her time here on Earth. She was known as “Momma P” to many and it brought her great joy to make others feel loved. She enjoyed being in the outdoors and was passionate about horses, dogs, all things Native American, hard candy, cooking the best food and most importantly her family. She poured her heart and soul into her family and stood by them faithfully. She spent many days at her family owned home on Lake Shafer where an abundance of happy memories were made. Laurie loved to bring people together around the dinner table. She enjoyed making memories by cooking for and with others. She had many friends that were like family to her as well. This was part of her beautiful soul that extended grace and love to so many. Time spent with her grandchildren brought her incredible joy as well. She will be greatly missed by all!
