Laura Lee Rosemeyer, 80, of Platteville, WI, passed away peacefully from cancer while at home with her family by her side on Monday, October 9, 2023.

Laurie was born on February 7, 1943, in Platteville, WI, to Bernard and Katherine (Bayley) Rosemeyer. She graduated Platteville High School in 1961 and after attending Edgewood College for two years, she transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics and Mathematics in 1965. Laurie worked in Chicago until moving to St. Louis in 1974, where she raised her 2 beloved daughters and enjoyed a successful real estate career. In 2008, she met her love, Gary Olson of Lake Saint Louis, MO. After spending a few years splitting their time between St. Louis and Florida, Laurie and Gary became full-time residents of Englewood, Florida.

Laurie volunteered tirelessly, utilizing her savvy financial mind to the benefit of many people and organizations. She was always helping those around her with tax preparation, home improvement projects, travel planning, new technology releases, and making sure they were enjoying life most efficiently and to its fullest. When anyone needed anything, her answer was always a resounding YES. She and Gary were happiest when they were doing things for others, whether it was building garage shelves or boating friends around the Florida Intercoastal Waterway. As an avid sports fan, Laurie faithfully rooted for the Wisconsin Badgers and the St. Louis Cardinals while enjoying every team. Her favorite role became that of a much adored grandmother to her three grandsons. She was always up for an adventure and loved surprising them with creative antics. Laurie will be most remembered for her generosity and welcoming hospitality, her problem-solving and resilience, her amazing cooking, and her love for her family. She will be most missed for, well, everything.
Laurie is survived by her two daughters, Jennifer (Eric) Anderson of Milwaukee, WI, and Stephanie (Greg) Goodemote of Platteville, WI; three grandsons Zach Anderson, Aidan Goodemote, and Kyan Goodemote; Gary Olson and his daughter Kim (Randy) Aubuchon of Lake Saint Louis, MO; sisters Jo Ann (Al) Romanov and Mary Rosemeyer; brother Jim (Lorri) Rosemeyer; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Bernard, and mother, Katherine.
