Laura B. L. Bashline

Laura B. L. Bashline, 56, of Sligo, PA, passed away Saturday, May 7, 2016 at Clarview Nursing Home.

She was born January 16, 1960 in Sligo to David Richard Bashline and Naomi E. (Bittenbender) Bashline.

Laura proudly lived her entire life in Sligo, on the family homestead, where she was born, which her father affectionately called Arrowhead Valley. She graduated from Clarion Area High School in 1977. Laura worked for Burns Farms for 22 years, where she took great pride in providing the best care she could for the dairy cows she milked every day.

Laura had many interests, including photography, bird watching, gardening, reading and music. She also loved animals and cared for many throughout her life. Laura will be best remembered for being a hard worker and having a selfless and generous personality.

Her memory will be cherished by her daughter, Samantha L. Billotte and husband, Michael, of Sligo; brothers and sisters, Clair A. Bashline and wife, Judy, of Rimersburg, Marilyn J. Fye and husband, Ronald, of Hagerstown, MD, Norman E. Bashline and wife, Maggie, of New Bethlehem, Emily F. McClintic, of Pennsylvania, and David A. Bashline, of Lake Tahoe, NV; and numerous nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by her fur grandson, Dominic, and the many animals she cared for outside of her home.

Laura was preceded in death by her parents; granddaughter, Lauran "Lizibird" Billotte, who passed away in 2007; sisters, Sarah A. McClintic and Ruby L. Richards; infant sister, Little Evelyn Bashline; and fur granddaughter, Abigale Rose.

A Celebration of Life Luncheon will take place at 11 AM on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at the Rimersburg Fire Hall, 484 Main St., Rimersburg, with Pastor Jodie Smith officiating.

Contributions can be made in Laura's honor to an animal shelter of one's choice or a local library.
