In addition, she is survived by several aunts, uncles, and cousins on the Bansbach side.
Laurie was a giver by nature and this was evident in her employment as a Nurse’s Aide/Med- Tech, aiding senior citizens for The Northfield Enhanced Living Facility located in Fairport, NY. Her natural tendencies to give was so evident when our family needed help Laurie aided Linda with her personal needs.
She loved the outdoors all her life especially fishing and camping which began with her brother and parents at around age 9. Laurie and Tim would hookup the camper and head to Cayuga Lake State Park campgrounds for their annual vacations. Often at night in the summer load up the canoe and head to Hemlock Lake or the Erie Canal for an evening of quiet reflection and fishing. Or they just might sit by the fire at home as a way to relax and communicate.
