It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and peaceful passing of Laurie on January 27, 2021 at 63 years of age. Cherished mother of Jacquelyn Groen (Theodoor), and Ryan Lafleur (Kerrie). Adored "Gaga" of Lilith "Lily" and Ethan Groen. Loving sister of Darryl Demian (Karen). Dear aunt of Nicole Joseph and her children Dylan and Jesse Werstein. Predeceased by her parents Rudy and Barbara Demian. She will be sadly missed by her former spouse and friend James Tuz.
Laurie was known as "Mum" to all who crossed her threshold. The life of every party, she was at her happiest cooking for a full house. She was a unique soul, quick to laugh, fiercely loyal to family and steadfast in her principles. She will continue to be a part of everyone she touched. She would remind us all, "It'll be okay. This too shall pass."
