It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Laurie Botting (née Tiffin) at the age of 51 in Everett, Washington.

Laurie leaves behind devoted husband Paul, beloved daughter Jennifer (Gavin), older brother Don (Gerri), sister-in-law Linda, nieces Elizabeth and Julia, nephews William and Jesse, as well as extended family and friends all around the world.

Laurie joins those who have left before her: mother Margaret, father William, and brother Darryl.

Laurie also leaves behind two cherished pets: Bear Puppy and Muffy Cat, her constant companions.

In lieu of flowers, you can remember Laurie best by making a donation to an animal rescue organization of your choice.

Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there.
