Laurie B. Pecha
08/29/2004

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Laurie B. Pecha of Memphis died suddenly at her home last Sunday afternoon, the 22nd of August.

She was born Laura Ann Boone on May 11, 1936, in Owensboro, the second of nine children in a close Depression-era family. She graduated from Catholic High School in Owensboro in 1954 and then from Nazareth School of Nursing in Louisville.

She married Robert L. Pecha one week after his discharge from the Army and spent the next several years crisscrossing the country with engineer-husband and her growing family, eventually settling in Memphis. She lived in her meticulously kept home in Raleigh for the last 32 years, sending six sons into the world and dispensing wisdom to many.

Faith was the cornerstone of Laurie's life. She heeded the Apostle Paul's advice to "pray constantly," attended daily Mass and read voraciously. These habits formed in her an unusually well-reasoned moral clarity. This she shared with her family and with those who asked. Her faith sustained her through the premature death of her husband in 1984, after which she completed her son-rearing in suburban Memphis despite the cultural tumult of the 1970's and '80s.

Though never remarried ; she was later comforted by new daughters-in-law and numerous grandchildren. She was the quintessential Southerner, valuing family and tradition, often lamenting the modern erosions to both. She was never distant from her eight siblings, making frequent visits back "home" to Kentucky while continuing an active study of the family's genealogy and collecting antiques.

Laurie imparted the value of education to her sons, all six of whom passed through Christian Brothers High School in Memphis and on to successful professional careers as physicians, engineers and in computer technology and who now live in California, Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky.

However successful her sons were, she was most proud that all six maintained a committed Roman Catholic faith of their own and kept close to her through visits, phone calls and e-mail. Her daughters-in-law, too, were very close, and she was a welcome source of reassurance and advice which will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond O. Boone and Mary Robert Hayden Boone of Owensboro; and by her husband. She is survived by her sons, Brian and his wife Kari and six children, Kevin and his wife Kim and daughter, Barry and his wife Angela and three children, Erick and his wife Julie and six children, Marc and his wife Margarita and four children and Neil and his wife Krista and three children.

She is also survived by her brothers Gene, Michael and his wife Cindy, and Joel and his wife Linda, all of Owensboro, Julian and his wife Mari of Quincy, Ill., and by her sisters, Julie Marie Boone of Memphis, Natalie and Alan Zambrano of Owensboro, Nancy Rhodes of Owensboro and Marilyn and Bernard Lally of Indianapolis.

A rosary and visitation were held last Wednesday evening followed by a Mass of Resurrection and burial in Memphis.
