  2. George Sand wrote, “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.” Laurette abounded in happiness. Truly, to know her was to love her and to be known by her was to be loved.

  9. It was my great privilege and an honor to work side by side with Laurette for almost 20 years. She was a true gem with a heart of gold. Her dedication, patience, and compassion made her a highly respected member of Ridge School, a favorite among students, a forever friend, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her easy-going nature and warm smile resonated with everyone.
    Laurette was a devoted sister, daughter, aunt, and an unforgettable friend who has surely left her mark on us all. She took pride in any role she played and always put forth 110%. Laurette always found ways to lift our spirits, show gentleness and empathy with students, and encouraged us to all be our best.
    I will miss you, sweet friend. Thank you for gracing our lives with love, for teaching by example how to be kind to one another, and to take things one day at a time.
    May your light continue to shine bright upon us, and may you rest in peace, together with your loved ones. You will not be forgotten. xoxo

  14. candleI won’t ever forget the LaPrarie- King rivalry at field day Ridge School 2024. Nor will I forget us trying to plot how to get “our” sister Jeannine to retire. We laughed so hard because we knew she’d do it on her own time. I remember how excited ‘Rette was that maybe this week she’d be walking. Well she is truly walking , without weakness but with the angels. I loved your laugh it was truly the definition of the word giggle. Smile on Laurette. May you laugh with others who were waiting for you. Rest in Peace , sweet heart. You will be missed & remembered, My condolences to all of your family ! Love, Karen Wilson

  19. Growing up in the early 1980s, I considered the LaPrarie family an extension of my own. I was there almost everyday (as Rosemary was my babysitter). Laurette was my older sister when I was there. I have such great memories or her, she was so fun and included me as much as possible. I am comforted that she is in the arms of the Lord in heaven with her father and brother, but it hurts knowing she is not here with us. The family has all my thoughts and prayers always. I love you all.
