Laurie Ann Ingersoll was born on February 28, 1963 in Marshfield, WI, to Harold and Kathryn (Klimeck) Ingersoll. She was raised and received her education in the Abbotsford area until her family moved to Stetsonville, WI, in 1980 and graduated from Medford High School in 1981.

After high school, she worked as a waitress in Marshfield. She was united in marriage on January 14, 1984 to Charles R. Strey in Las Vegas, NV. They moved to Barstow, CA where her husband was stationed at Ft. Irwin in the U.S. Army. After his discharge from the service in 1985, they moved to Loyal and she resumed working as a waitress until becoming an employee at Weather Shield Mfg. in Greenwood. After health conditions forced her to leave Weather Shield, Laurie continued to work in the Loyal/Greenwood area waitressing, cooking, and bartending. Currently she was working at the Kickin' Kow Kafe, in Greenwood, and at the House of Spirits, in Loyal.

She had the type of laugh that was infectious and a loving sense of humor.

She had many interests, but especially loved spending time with family and friends. She was an avid swimmer in her youth and enjoyed fishing till sunset. She took pleasure in playing cards and volleyball. She was an especially enthusiastic and passionate Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers fan.
