Laurie left the work force subsequent to employment with the US Department of Defense Medical Team at Fort Drum, where she extended her audiology expertise to soldiers that experienced hearing loss in combat.

Laurie was blessed with a multitude of talents she displayed as a pitcher on championship softball teams, a member in award winning marching and pit bands during times she played piccolo and flute never hesitating to photograph a beautiful scenic view in her world travels. Laurie was relied on by her friends as the best event and party planner whereby she could ensure that she would not miss out on all the good ones, and to do what she really loved most and that is to spend time with Layla, family and an overwhelming number of friends that she cherished and cared for so deeply that could be found in most any state she had previously traveled to.
