Laurie was born the daughter of Larry and Sharon (Sell) Strukell on December 29, 1955 in Hartford. She was a graduate of Hartford High School. Laurie was united in marriage to Eusebio ‘Chevo’ Torres, whom she loved unconditionally. Laurie had retired from Gleason Reel in Mayville. In her spare time, Laurie loved animals, especially dogs. She was also known for her love of shopping… some may have even considered it an addiction! Laurie loved her family and cherished the time spent with them and made sure to capture as much as possible with her camera.
Laurie is survived by her husband Chevo of Horicon. Her mother Sharon of Arizona. Her children- Melissa Torres of Horicon and Lucas (Patricia) Torres of Bessemer, MI. Her grandchildren- Brooklynn (Michael) Torres, Gracie Torres, and Brinley Torres. Her sisters- Tonya (Curt) Kleppin and Kim (Dan) Neuman. Her canine companions- Lily and Cody. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father Larry and her son Travis.
Laurie gave the gift of life and was able to donate one of her organs which shows how big her heart truly was.
Special thanks to the staff of Horicon EMS and St. Mary’s Madison for the care and support shown to Laurie and her family.

My thoughts on my dear friend Miss Laurie Lee...I am brokenhearted. Still feeling the shock after hearing just a few days ago that we have lost her. I am going back through my memories of having been given the great gift of her friendship, generosity, and so much kindness. All freely given.
That doesn't even address how much fun she was. I feel bereft. We recently discussed going to lunch, Jackie, Laurie, and me...She told me she wasn't sure she could go to a restaurant and I told her we could pick up sub sandwiches and she sounded more up to something like that. Until we old friends picked a day to meet, we at least had long visits on the phone. Laurie...that lady LOVED her family with such pride and passion. Her grandchildren were her heart; Chevo, her lifelong love. Knowing how much I love her, I can only imagine the pain Laurie's family is going through. I am so sorry. The only solace I can muster is that she is now with her beloved Travis. Laurie, rest in peace and love, my friend.
