Her vision, compassion, and unwavering dedication shaped Watkins Glen in lasting ways. Laurie had a rare gift—she made everyone feel seen, welcomed, and valued.

The outpouring of love and gratitude we’re seeing is a reflection of the incredible impact she had on so many lives. Her legacy will continue to live on in the community she cared for so deeply.

We are forever grateful for her leadership and the mark she leaves behind.
