October 10, 2020

Laurie Denegar, 60, of West Easton, PA, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of Robert A. Denegar. They celebrated 38 years of marriage on September 18, 2020. Laurie was a dedicated homemaker, an excellent cook, a loving wife, and a devoted mother. She was a practicing member of St Stephen of Hungary Roman Catholic Church, Allentown. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Grace (Yarns) Golz. Laurie was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School in Jersey City, NJ, and attended Seaton Hall University. She loved vintage fashion, and was very artistic, making jewelry and crocheting. Laurie held many jobs throughout her life, all involving sales: she sold men’s shoes, vacuum cleaners, Fuller brushes, handbags, major appliances, and cars. Laurie loved animals and always had pets. She was especially fond of her Chihuahua dogs, Taco and Tila, whom she referred to as her “free range rats” which was particularly funny because she also had a real pet rat named Sherman. She had wonderful stories, a playful sense of humor, and possessed a special gift for making people laugh. She was passionate about the truth in all facets of public and private life, a patriot who loved God, family, and country, and she enjoyed shooting sports. Laurie and Robert enjoyed historical events and participated in Civil War reenactments. She is survived by her loving husband Robert, and her daughter Kristin M. Denegar. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday 15 October 2020 at 1:00 PM at St. Stephen of Hungary, 510 West Union Street, Allentown. Viewing and Rosary will precede the Mass at 12:30 PM at the church. Internment will be held at Resurrection Cemetery, Allentown. Contributions may be made in Laurie’s memory to: St. Stephen of Hungary R.C. Church 510 W. Union Street Allentown, PA 18101.
