Laurie graduated from South Tama County High School in 1981. She then attended Mount Mercy College in Cedar Rapids graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1985. For the next 32 years she lived her dream of being a nurse at Grinnell Regional Medical Center. Throughout her time there she gained many lifelong friends and impacted countless lives of staff and patients alike with her patience, kindness, and skill in her craft.

Laurie married the love of her life Donald J. Weiermann of Brooklyn, IA on May 26, 1984 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Chelsea, IA. They were then blessed with three boys, Stephen J. Weiermann, Jeremy L. Weiermann, and Joshua R. Weiermann.

Laurie relished traveling and watching her sons fish and play sports. She also spent many hours in her garden which she took great pride in. Another one of her passions was photography; she loved capturing the quintessential jump shots, swings, and tackles of her sons and also the perfect smile for many senior pictures that she took. Laurie was an unrivaled mom and loved her family deeply.
