Laurie was born in Dallas, Texas and raised in Farmers Branch by her parents, Roger and Charlene McKemie. She attended Mary Immaculate Catholic School in Farmers Branch, W. T. White High School and graduated from Lewisville High School in 1994. Laurie loved and lived life to the fullest. She loved roller skating, country and western dancing, boating, tubing, archery and shooting. Most of all, she loved her two daughters, Carly and Reagan. Her kids called her mom, her friends called her Mookie, family called her Aunt Lolo. Her dad called her Scooby. She loved being his Scooby Doo, she even had personalized license plates that read Scooby.

Laurie had a beautiful smile, infectious laugh, and an army of friends. To quote one of her friends, if you knew Laurie, you knew you had a best friend. She never forgot the friends she grew up with and her circle of friends grew exponentially over the years. She had mom’s groups, scrapbooking groups, roller skating groups, country western dancing groups, live music groups, archery, shooting, hunting and fishing groups, neighborhood, work and play groups. Laurie was never at a loss for friends.

Laurie battled Covid pneumonia at home and in the hospital. The treacherous disease proved to be too tough, even for this spirited fighter. She leaves behind her daughters, Carly and Reagan, her parents, Roger and Beverly McKemie and Charlene and Wendell Linton, her brother Randy and his wife Janice, and sister Michelle and husband Eric. She also leaves three nephews, three nieces, step daughter, and former sister and mother in laws.
