Laurie Lyn Howes Long

February 22, 1962 - July 1, 2019

Laurie Lyn Howes Long, age 57, (she will kill me for telling you that), passed away on July 1, 2019 at her home in Lindon, Utah surrounded by her children. She was born to Roger and Patsy Jolley Howes. Her childhood home in Marysvale, Utah was one of mountains, horseback riding, and small town life. She was lovingly surrounded by generations of family and particularly close to her grandparents, Tony and DeVere Howes. She married and divorced Fred Fage. Together they share four wonderful children who are her treasures. She married and divorced Steve Long. Laurie was a determined person and went back to school with four small children to get her LPN in 1990 and her RN in 1991. She was a meticulous hard-worker. She was employed at the Utah State Training School, Utah Valley Hospital, and Benchmark Mental Health. Working on the Open Heart Team at Utah Valley was a hallmark in her career. Her hobbies and talents include horseback riding, quilting and creating recipes. Many family and friends have been recipients of her beautiful creations and wonderful food. She is survived by her sisters: Alesa Ackerman, Lynda Smith, Alayne Baker; her children: Jamie Millett (Scott), Jed Fage, Jason Fage (Prudencia Mercado), Joshua Roger Fage (Sara Schiavino) ; her grandchildren who were her “little bright lights”: Draven, Westin, Paisley Millett; Judah, Jasper Fage; and her faithful companion, Hank with whom she was never alone. Laurie will be sorely missed by those who loved her deeply and by those who were lucky to be called her friend. Thank-you to Symbii Hospice care Samantha, Lisa, and Heidi for your care and support. Memorial services will be held Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 11:00am at the LDS church , 432 West Bullion Avenue, Marysvale, Utah followed by Internment in the Mountain View Cemetery.
