LAURENCE
Judi Laurence passed away on December 17th, 2014. She was described as many things: "feisty" by the nurses she spent the last few weeks with , "understanding" by the daughter who took comfort in her warm insightfulness, and "hilarious" by everyone who has spent at least a few minutes chatting with her. A remarkable woman with tremendous work ethic, she was intelligent, personable, and never had a hair misplaced. She had a thoughtful quality about her that made you feel welcome immediately in her presence. Her positive attitude and energy were infectious, whether she was helping out a customer at her retail job or just sharing a funny story with her grandkids during the holidays. She had impeccable style, which made her a very respected opinion at her workplace where customers cherished her taste in clothes and jewelry. Her creative and independent spirit will be greatly missed by everyone she knew. She is survived by her daughter Joanne Friend (John), her son Lonnie Goldfeder (Lisa), her grandson Michael Friend (Mary), her granddaughter Alexandra Friend (Cody Stonerock) and two great grandchildren Kylee Friend and Caleb Friend. Visitation will take place at Vorhis & Ryan Funeral Home, 11365 Springfield Pk., Springdale on Monday, December 22, 2014 from 5:30 PM until the time of service at 7:30 PM.
