Laurie ’ Lu ’ Dauchert

Born Laura Ann Livanavage on March 21, 1964 to Judith A (Jenkins) and Stephen W. Livanavage. Laurie passed away in her sleep only eight days after her much loved husband, Bryan Dauchert, died suddenly of complications from an illness on November 30, 2019.

Laurie graduated Wallenpaupack Area High School in 1982. She was a volunteer at the ” Worlds greatest ” Lakeville Fire Company where she was Fireman ,Rescue Captain and Secretary for years.

Lu and Bryan were married and eventually built a beautiful home together next to her sister, Teri and Dave and their Mom and step dad ,Boyd .

Lu loved “goofing’ on her little sister ,She had an absolutely brilliant and hilarious sense of humor, NEVER mean , just funny….But God bless ANYONE that messed with her baby sister …. Greatest big sis EVER!

Laurie had a dedicated career with the Wayne County 911 Center as a 911 telecommunicator and subsequently with the Pennsylvania State Police as a (PCO) Communications Officer until her retirement. She loved spending time in the sun at their pool, and anywhere with her favorite “boys”, her son and grandson. They were the light of her life. She was a very gifted painter and loved animals, but especially German Shepherds and Mane Coon cats, most recently her dog Samson, and cat Allie.

Laurie and Bryan were ‘family favorites’. They hosted parties and get together with friends and family making us all into one big family. They were always there for each other and their loved ones whenever they needed a hand. They will both be missed beyond measure. The only peace that shines through our own grief is knowing that they are together, hand in hand, forever.
