Laurie Ann Mulder, age 64, of Hamilton, died Saturday, September 26, 2026, at her home with her family by her side.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Christy Jo Tucker and Valerie Joy Eding.
Laurie was a selfless woman who loved her family with true unconditional love. She gave of herself freely and was always there for the people she loved. As a mother, she was endlessly supportive of Jennifer and Jeff and their lives, always their biggest cheerleader and encouraging them in every adventure they pursued. She had a gift for knowing when her family needed a little extra care—whether that meant showing up with a home-cooked meal when someone was sick or simply making sure there was food and love waiting when life became too busy. She never needed to be asked; caring for the people she loved was simply who she was.
Her family was her greatest joy, and she especially cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren. She would do anything they wanted to do, simply because it made them happy. From picking berries together and turning them into homemade jam, to making crafts in the barn and enjoying pool parties, Laurie was happiest when she was making memories with the people she loved most. While antiquing, mushroom hunting, Jeep rides, bonfires, crafting, and spending time with family and friends. She especially loved gardening and could often be found outside tending to her flowers, with the same care and love she gave to so many people. She loved being involved, making memories, and sharing in life’s little adventures. Her greatest gift was the love she gave so freely, and she leaves behind a lifetime of memories that will be treasured by all who were blessed to know her.
She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Scott; children, Jennifer (Jeremy Whip) Mulder and Jeff (Sandy) Mulder; grandchildren, Angelina Vasquez, Axel Whip, Brooke, Alyssa, and Grayson Mulder; parents, Larry and Lorraine Eding; sister, Barb and Duane Meiste; parents-in-law, Al and Marcia Elgersma; sister-in-law, Sara and Rich Van Dyke; several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
