The early portion of her career was spent as the cornerstone of United Cooperative Bank, where she embraced many prominent roles, including Treasurer. Over the last decade, Laurie worked at Alden Credit Union, where she cherished her role as Senior Vice President of Finance & Treasurer.

Laurie was an avid gardener and highly enjoyed birdwatching along with her koi fish pond. Laurie loved sharing photos and stories of the wildlife that would visit her property. She had a deep love for the ’70s and early ‘80s Rock Bands, especially the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. She loved cooking and sharing meals with her family and friends.
