LaRae had a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor, a contagious laugh and a life-long compassionate love for animals.  She enjoyed cooking.  All of her children looked forward to her delicious meals, as she was mindful to prepare each one's favorite dish.  Cooking for them made her heart happy.  The family will receive friends on Friday, July 22, 2022, 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Northside Baptist Church, 655 W.
