Obituary: Laurie Ann Skinner

Laurie Ann Skinner, 42, of Meriden, N.H., died on Friday, May 15, 2020, at her home following a nine-year fight with metastatic breast cancer. Her husband Colin was by her side.

Laurie was born Dec. 14, 1977, in Berlin, N.H. Growing up in Canaan, N.H., Laurie and her family raised and raced sled dogs, traveling all over northern New England to compete. At their most active, they maintained a kennel of 34 dogs. Laurie made it a practice to give each dog the love and attention she felt it deserved, regardless of how late at night, or how cold it was outside. She later pursued her passion for horses, which also helped her endure the many therapies and surgeries. Laurie enjoyed travelling, visiting Paris, France; St. Petersburg, Russia; the Caribbean; many of the States, and many counties in Ireland.
