Our beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend passed away November 13, 2002. Laurie Jean Proctor was born April 8, 1949 in Minneapolis. She was a loving, caring wife and mother and a special person to all who knew her. She touched the lives of many, and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her loving husband Deane and her children Tracie and James Bittle, Thomas and Cassie Proctor, and Kathleen Proctor and three beautiful grandchildren, Matthew, Carissa, and John Bittle. She was preceded in death by her mother Lucille F. Pestello, her father James E. Pestello, Sr., and her brother John A. Pestello. She leaves behind six brothers and sisters, James E. Pestello, Jr., Roxanne White, Elizabeth McBride, Lisa Asrar, Joseph Pestello, and Samuel Pestello. Laurie loved all of her family dearly. Her greatest achievement was being the best wife, mother, sister, and grandmother a family could hope for. The family would like to express their thanks to many friends and family whose prayers ad comforting words helped us through this difficult time.
