(Kulig) Milne, 68, of Monson, was called safely home on Monday, July 25, 2022.  She passed into eternal life at Baystate Hospital after a five year battle with cancer, surrounded by the comfort of her family.  She had "Rebellious Hope" to the end. Born in Chicopee she grew up in Ludlow and was a graduate of Ludlow High School and Bay Path College. She worked at the Republican in the accounting department for many years and also as church administrator at Wilbraham United Church.  Dragonflies were Laurie's spirit animals. Her faithful companions Jada and Hemmi were always by her side comforting her. She loved gardening, the thrill of finding interesting antiques, and working along side her husband on many projects.  Laurie's best times were spent at the cabin at the lake in Sturbridge with family and playing Lego's with her grandson.
