Laurie Marie (Yragui) Davison Obituary (1962

Mrs. Davison's family composed the following memorial: Laurie Marie (Yragui) Davison, 42, of Silverdale, Washington died July 6, 2004 at Harrison Hospital in Bremerton, Washington. She suffered a sudden, aggressive cancer, surviving only 6 weeks after her initial diagnosis. Laurie was born in Portland, Oregon, daughter of Leon J. and Renata "Rae" E. (von Weiss) Yragui. She was a 1980 graduate of St. Mary of the Valley Catholic High School in Beaverton, Oregon. Laurie met her husband Pat in 1980, married and had a daughter. The family moved from San Diego, California to Boston, Massachusetts and finally Silverdale as part of Pat's naval career. Laurie always made people a part of her family with food, hobbies and most of all, good laughs. She loved to cook and was always demonstrating her skills to our great pleasure. She also loved to sew and was an avid quilter. She enjoyed working at JoAnn's Fabrics in Silverdale, where she shared her expertise with many other quilters. Pat introduced her to fishing, but she always caught more salmon than he, and especially relished crabbing. "Bubbles" was our nickname for Laurie from the time she was a toddler because of her infectious giggle. Usually happy, she had the beautiful gift of an "upbeat" attitude. Even when fighting her illness she had a positive outlook, willing to try any plan to combat this aggressive cancer. All of us remember Laurie's strength, understanding and good humor because we've all relied on it at some point in our lives. Dad's "little princess" had a birthday that sometimes fell on Easter, and to celebrate these "doubly-special" events Mom made lamb cake. Now, Easter's lamb cake will always remind us not just of Laurie's birth on earth, but her rebirth into God's kingdom. Laurie is survived by her husband, Wayne "Patrick" M. Davison of Silverdale; daughter Rita R. Davison, student at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington; brothers Jim B. Yragui and his wife, Joan, of Seattle, Washington, Tom J. Yragui of Ventura, California and Joseph J. Yragui of Newberg, Oregon; sister Lisa R. Yragui of Portland, Oregon; nephew Peter and niece Angela. A vigil will be held at 7:30 PM on Sunday, July 11, 2004 at St. Olaf's Catholic Church in Poulsbo, Washington. A memorial service will take place at noon the following day at St. Olaf's Catholic Church in Poulsbo. Memorial donations may be made in her memory and in lieu of flowers to the American Cancer Society, 1551 Broadway, Suite 200, Tacoma, Washington 98402.
