Laurie (Howard) Meyer, 50, of rural Erie, passed away Friday, July 21, 2006, at 11:10 p.m. at the Prairie Mission Retirement Home in St. Paul, Kansas, after suffering a stroke.
Laurie was born May 26, 1956, at Parsons Mercy Hospital to E. L. and Marjorie (Stough) Howard of Erie.
She attended Erie schools, graduating from Erie High School in 1974, and was a member of the Erie Federated Church.
Laurie was united in marriage to Richard Meyer March 22, 1980. They lived in New York where Laurie worked for the Dan River Corporation, and as a Kelly Girl. Her experience as a Kelly Girl included working in the office of Gloria Vanderbilt. After several years she and her husband moved to Erie and lived in Laurie's childhood home, where she continued to reside until her death.
She loved being back home, spending many hours tending to her flowers and enjoying nature. She was happiest when outside in her garden checking her tomatoes and the other vegetables she grew.
Laurie worked for a time at Locke Abstract Company in Erie, and later owned and operated R & L Smoke Shop in Parsons.
Laurie is survived by her mother, Marjorie Howard, and a sister, Nancy Martin, both of Erie; a brother, Frank Howard, and his wife Eve, of Nashville, Tennessee; a niece, Elizabeth Martin of Longmont, Colorado; and nephews, Andrew Martin of Seattle, Washington; and Charles Howard of Nashville, Tennessee.
She was preceded in death by her father, E. L. Howard; and a brother, Petty Officer Charles Howard.
Following a private service, the family will receive friends in the parlor of the Erie Federated Church Saturday, July 29, 2006, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
