Laurie Joan McCaughan beloved wife of Louis McCaughan of Calgary, AB, passed away on Saturday, February 10, 2024, at the age of 61 years.
Laurie was born in Winnipeg, MB, on June 12, 1962. She grew up on the family farm in Headingly, MB, along with her five siblings. Laurie began her career as a Travel Agent in Winnipeg. She exceled quickly and established a loyal network of clients and friends within the Travel Industry. Laurie’s love for sports and fitness, then set her on a new career path, where she became a Certified Fitness Instructor. Her outgoing personality and positive attitude positioned her to become a well-respected and accomplished Fitness Instructor.
Laurie married Louis in 1984, then transferred with him to Calgary, AB in 1994. After numerous moves across the country, they settled back in Calgary and continued to raise their two children. Amongst a very busy family lifestyle, Laurie enjoyed camping, golfing, cycling, the family cottage and the occasional glass of wine with family and friends.
Laurie’s 13-month battle with lung and bone cancer, was a rollercoaster ride with many highs and lows. Her optimistic attitude and fighter instincts kept her swinging until the very end. Laurie was one tough Manitoba farm girl, who held her head up high, and continued to cherish her family and friends until the very end.

OMG imagine my shock when i saw that beautiful, loving, caring, picture. We had completely lost touch over the past couple of years. Until I retired in 2002 and sold my agency, I had owned and operated a travel agency. Laurie became my absolute right hand with all our student groups to Europe. When she left to join Louis on his career path, I was devasted and when she moved to Calgary, I fully supported her move to fitness. She was a wonderful human being and a great mother and wife . My deepest condolences to Louis and children. - Posted by: Pauline Fia (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2024
