Laurie Jo Walden

She had a passion for fishing and loved music. From Bluegrass to Rock & Roll and everything in between. To know Laurie is to love her. She was a genuine friend to all who knew her.

Laurie is preceded in death by her parents, Patricker Bueker Sr. and Barbara Baier and sister, Lisa Decamp.

She is survived by her life partner, George Pompeo and her sons, Joshua Walden and Aaron Walden and step son, Chad Walden. Sisters, Danielle Bueker, Bridget Bueker (Gary Lord), Linda Bueker, Janie Bueker and a brother, Patrick Bueker Jr. She's also survived by her devoted crazy cat, Paddy. Sometimes she would confuse him by calling him "Bob."
