Laurie Sayers-Bertrand age 49 of Pompton Plains passed to her eternal home on Saturday, July 28, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. Her passing was quiet and peaceful, while receiving the loving care of her family members who were at her bedside.
She was born in Pequannock Township and had lived her happy childhood years in the Lions Head Lake Village of Wayne. Laurie received her formal education at Albert Payson Terhune Elementary School then at Schuyler Colfax Middle School advancing to Wayne Hills High School where she graduated with the Class of 1980. At Wayne Hills she enjoyed the Skiing Team and the Tennis Program. Because of her abilities and proficiency, she was offered Scholarships to C.W. Post University in Long Island NY.
Laurie was gifted with a high level of intelligence and ambition and pursued the subjects of computer programming at the Computer Processing Institute in Paramus, NJ and then Computer Graphics at Pratt Institute in New York City. She started her own company in 1995, On-Line Solutions, Inc, and rapidly became successful and known for her effective and reliable consulting skills on JD Edwards World Software business applications. Her company still continues to operate under the leadership of her beloved husband.
She was working at the Castrol Automotive Oil corporate offices on Valley Road in Wayne where she met Luis Bertrand. After a courtship of five years their love for each other just grew and they decided to get married. They married at the Preakness Reformed Church on Church Lane in Wayne on September 30, 1995. They were “Soul Mates in Mutual Love” and shared their strong passion for Tennis, Skiing, and Computer Application Systems; and they had a wonderful marriage together.
Laurie’s most important life dedication was to her family. She was the best mother in the whole world.
Sadness visited her life when in September 2011 her mother Audrey Mills – Sayers passed away.
Surviving to cherish the memories of this wonderful person in their lives are her husband Luis Bertrand; three sons including twins Ethan and Dean Bertrand age sixteen and Sean Bertrand age eleven all at home; her father Charlie Sayers and his wife Dot of Butler, and sisters Beverley Gaudio and her husband Frank, Jane Richards and her husband David of Las Vegas, Nevada; Ashley Sayers of Butler; one brother Sean Patalita and his wife Erika of Stockholm.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Laurie’s memory are asked to consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society, 20 Mercer Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601-5608.
