Laci was a great big sister who her brother and sister always knew they could count on.
Laci was awarded a golf scholarship to the University of the Southwest in Hobbs, NM. She was excited to get to play at the collegiate level; and it didn’t take long for her to fit right in making friends while playing the sport she loved.
