Margaret "Laurie" Lauraine Love

Margaret Lauraine "Laurie" Love, 78, of Clearwater, Fla., formerly of Peoria, died on June 19 in Peoria, surrounded by loving family. Born July 25, 1935, in Sumner, Ill., to John Walter and Iva (Tucker) Yeadicke, she married James K. Love on Oct. 8, 1960. Her parents, one brother, and her husband preceded her in death. Surviving are: son, Michael Riney of Burbank, Calif.; daughter, Kristi (Terry) Moushon of Peoria; stepson, Dan (Pam) Armbruster of Nashville, Tenn.; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters, Mrs. Betty Lynch and Mrs. Mildred Lamprecht (George) of Peoria and brother, Francis Eugene (Bud) Yeadicke of Paris, Tenn. Employed by Caterpillar in Peoria for 28 years, she retired in 1990. She earned her BA from the University of Illinois at Springfield and continued there with graduate work. Laurie was the computer pioneer in the family back in the early days of personal computers. She enjoyed teaching anyone who wanted to learn. Boating and camping on the Illinois River in the 1960s was a family affair that resulted in many fond memories. Later, she enjoyed making beautiful quilts. Following retirement, Laurie and Jim loved spending winters in Florida in their RV. After moving to Clearwater, Fla., in late 1999, she became an active member of Trinity Presbyterian Church. Laurie was president of the Presbyterian women's group and made many wonderful friends that held similar beliefs. Her unquestionable faith in where she was going following this life on earth made the journey easier for herself and her loved ones. The family would like to thank Laurie's church family for their prayers and constant support as well as the staff at Illinois Cancer Care, Harbor Lights Hospice and Liberty Village Manor Court. Funeral services for Laurie will be held at 2 p.m. Monday June 23, 2014, at Davison-Fulton-Woolsey-Wilton Funeral Home, 2408 W. Willow Knolls Drive. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service.
