Laurelye Claire Kaufmann's Obituary
Laurelye Claire Kaufmann (Lo), born May 19, 2009 in Rogers, AR to Stephen J. and Stacy (Richards) Kaufmann, passed away along with her father on April 18, 2024 as a result of a tragic car accident.
Lo was 14. A dedicated 9th grade honor student at Farmington Junior High School, she thrived at school, was excited about her honors classes and passionate about art and creative crafts.
She had a huge heart. Kindness was her way of life; a bright star in her family and school community.
She is survived by her mother, Stacy Richards, step-father Sam Meneley and siblings, Madison, Gibson, Thomas, Benjamin and Ali. She is also survived by her maternal grandparents, Ken and Carol Richards, paternal grandparents, John and Debbie Slape, grandparents, Joe and Sara Meneley, and maternal great grandmother, Lillie Eastmade.
She will always be loved and tremendously missed by her family and all who were blessed to know her. A celebration of Laurelye’s life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers and in keeping with Lo’s devotion to cat/kitten rescues please make memorial contributions to Whiskers Rescue AR at https://www.whiskersrescuear.org/donate or your favorite cat rescue organization.
