Life Legacy


Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Laura Lourde passed away in her sleep early Monday morning. Known to her many thousands of fans across the country as Laura Shawen, she was both admired for her distinctive mix of rock and country sung in an unmistakable, husky voice, and beloved for her tremendous generosity, brilliance, and quick wit. She is survived by her daughter, Jamie Cox, and grandson Trent—both of Spring Hill, Fla.—brother Chris Shawen of Maryland, and partner Kathleen Lourde of Dacoma, Okla. She will be sorely missed.
