Laurie Kathleen Busk, a beloved mother, sister, friend, and dedicated caregiver, departed from this world on April 11th, 2024, at her residence in Parachute, Colorado. She valiantly battled cancer, displaying remarkable strength and courage throughout her journey. Laurie was 56 years old.
Born on May 13th, 1967, in the picturesque San Francisco Bay Area, Laurie brought warmth and joy to all those around her. Her unwavering love and compassion touched the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to have known her.
Laurie spent most of her career working in an elder care facility, where her tender-hearted nature and nurturing spirit provided comfort and companionship to elderly individuals in need.
Laurie is survived by her cherished daughters, Megan and Rachel Busk, and son-in law Trevor Barela who were the lights of her life. Her memory will forever live on through her daughters, who carry her spirit with them.
In addition to her daughters, Laurie is mourned by her brothers, Christopher Jeffery and Kevin Busk, who shared countless memories and experiences with her. Laurie’s passing leaves them with good memories of her being the baby of the family.
Laurie is also survived by her sisters-in-law’s, Rhonda and Miles Busk, also nieces and nephews, many cousins and close dear friends, who stood by her side with support and love during her battle with cancer. Their kindness and compassion provided comfort to Laurie during her most challenging moments, and their presence brought peace to her soul.
Though Laurie may have left this earthly plane, her spirit will forever linger in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her laughter, her kindness, and her strength will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of crossing paths with her.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to cancer research organizations in Laurie’s honor, continuing her legacy of hope and perseverance in the fight against this devastating disease.
Laurie’s life was a testament to the power of love, resilience, and compassion. May she rest in eternal peace, knowing that she was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
