Laurie loved horses, and once saved the life of one of her colts by performing mouth-to-nose resuscitation. She adored her family and enjoyed time spent with them, especially holidays and watching her grandchildren’s sports when they were younger. She held the office of Membership Chairperson for the Mt.
