Marie Maki says
Lauriel was such a sweetheart of a gal. I was so fortunate to visit with her and enjoy her stories of her kids and life in Stewart. We also had many laughs playing a game or two of Bingo at Hutchinson VFW and Cactus Jacks II in Stewart. RIP Lauriel.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this. She was such a sweet lady. I enjoyed visiting with her at Woodstone. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Knew her from kindergarten to the time I graduated and beyond. She was a staple in our Stewart School. Always had a smile on her face and she was an Avon lady too! When I think of our school which I think a lot of us had good memories , she is one I think of too. You will always be in our hearts Mrs. Novotny.

Novonty Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all in the loss of your mother. She was the glue that held Stewart Public School together. All of us that attended Stewart will always appreciate what she did for all of us. May God’s Peace be with all of you. Curt Burns
