Obit: Mary Laucamp

Posted

Mary Elizabeth Laucamp died peacefully at her home surrounded by loved ones on Dec. 6, 2018.

An informal gathering of family, friends, food and fellowship celebrating Mary was held on Sunday, Dec. 9 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the United Steelworkers Union Hall, 420 E. Third St., Wilton.

Mary was born in Wilton on May 30, 1943, to the late John and Juanita Maurer Smith.

She married William (Bill) Laucamp on Oct. 11, 1979. Together they share seven children, 15 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

Family and friends were Mary’s most treasured blessings. Her table was always filled with bottomless cups of coffee and meals that were prepped with love.

She enjoyed working in the yard, watching her grandchildren grow and garage sales. Mary never met a stranger and she never missed the chance for a good laugh.

She was a longtime member of the Sugar Creek Presbyterian Church, serving as an Elder for many years.

Mary is survived by her husband Bill; her sons: Kevin (Vicky) Gute of Moscow and Bill (Triscia) Laucamp of Muscatine; her daughters: Teresa (Steve) Salyars of Moscow, Cindy (Skeet) Smith of Wilton, Sarah (Bart) Laucamp of Moscow, Rebecca (Ray) Brisker of Moscow and Amanda (Jay) Cassidy of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; her brother Doug (Connie) Smith of Muscatine and a dear sister, Catharine (George) Leggins of Moscow.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Juanita and her brothers: Jerry Smith, John “Joe” Smith, Robert “Bob” Smith and William “Bill” Smith.

Drop a pebble in the water and its ripples reach our far; and the sunbeams dancing on them may reflect them to a star.

Give a smile to someone passing, thereby making his morning glad; it may greet you in the evening when your own heart may be sad.

Do a deed of simple kindness; through its end you may not see, it may reach, like widening ripples, down a long eternity.
