Laurie moved from Iowa to Florida in 1986 with her husband Bill and her daughter Sasha. She worked primarily in the legal and insurance claims fields for several years. Laurie later became a full-time homemaker where she totally devoted herself to taking care of her family.

Laurie was an avid pet lover who loved her pet and her pets ardently loved her back. She was a strong supporter of conservative causes and loved her state and country. She was a trailblazer in alternative health, her advice and expertise, which she shared with those she loved, was well ahead of her time. Laurie enjoyed traveling with her family to various places around the country and the world. She was a loyal Fox News fan as well as many other conservative news programs.

In her free time, Laurie enjoyed spending time with her family, binge watching programs, watching movies with her husband, reading, and enjoying the comfort of her beloved dogs.
