She was born in Portland, Michigan and attended Lansing Community College’s Surgical Technician program. She was proud of her work at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Northern Michigan Regional Hospital in Petoskey, Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott, Arizona and Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. She was a true naturalist and enjoyed everything found in nature; plants, animals and minerals. As a free spirit she loved to travel and made friends across the country on her many adventures. Laurie is survived by her husband Russell Rising of Beulah, daughters Sarah (Jim) Adkins of Traverse City and Pamm (Bill) Laing of Beulah, sister Marcia Trappen of Lansing and brothers, Peter (Georgina) Trappen of England and Jim (Kim) Trappen of Portland. She was lovingly known as Mema to her grandchildren Desi, Dani, Sarah, Rhianna, Nelson, Keegan, Jimmy, Tim and Scot and great grandchildren Evie and Tristan. She was preceded in death by her parents Raymond and Audrey and brothers, Russell and John Trappen. A celebration of life will be held in the summer months of 2012 when the family can be together.
