Hudson Beach, FL /Thousand Islands, NY: Laurie passed on August 16, 2026, following surgery, with her loving family by her side.

She is survived by John, her devoted husband of 44 years; daughters, Kimberly (Tim) Strickland of Ontario, NY and Kristina (Dan) Vermeulen of Hudson Beach, FL; sisters, Julie (Bill) VanGee and Carol Hosfeld (Scott); brother-in-law, Jerrold Foster; her very special grandchildren Colton Strickland (Kaytlin), Lucy Vermeulen and Timothy “TAS” Strickland; great-grandchildren, Landon and Savannah Strickland; beloved little girl Louise “Weasee” Foster (their dog of 17 years); and many nieces and nephews that affectionately loved Aunt Re.

She had been predeceased by her parents George and Mickey Hogan, brothers George and Peter Hogan.

Laurie had a long and rewarding nursing career, with a passion for caring for the elderly and hospice patients, having served on the original team to establish a hospice home in Wayne County. Her commitment and steadfast dedication left a lasting impact with families whose loved ones needed palliative care.

After retirement, the Thousand Islands region became Laurie and John’s home, prior to their relocation to Florida. They treasured the bountiful surroundings of the river, the sunsets, and the innumerable friends and memories they made together. Her family takes great solace knowing that she was loved by so many, as Laurie brought warmth and joy anywhere hers became a familiar face.

A graveside service will be held on September, 19 2026 at 10am: Lake View Cemetery 3945 Lake Road, Pultneyville NY 14589.
