Laurie was employed for 42 years working with the mentally challenged. She was always a very devoted and fierce advocate for her clients. She spent a lifetime helping others.

Laurie also found so much happiness in mentoring others in need of support & guidance. She did this, up until the last month of her life. She expressed how it gave her joy peace and purpose.

A kind, gentle and loving soul she was, to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her greatest pride and joy in life, we’re her beloved children and grandson. She beamed whenever she spoke of them.

Her loving spirit and enduring faith in God remained strong through her long battle with cancer. Her steadfast strength, grace, and smile, deeply inspired everyone who knew and loved her.

She will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever loved.

She is survived by a son, Charles J. Sprague of Coventry; a daughter, Casey L.
