She grew up and was educated in Burlington and was a 1985 graduate of Burlington High School. She worked at the Lahey Clinic Hospital in Burlington for the past 28 years in the Medical Records Department. Laurine had an easy going nature and never needed to be the center of attention. She was much happier being a part of a group of close friends, sharing their company, and simply “Hang Out”. She enjoyed camping with friends, weekends in the White Mountains, and indulging her niece and nephew. She loved animals, especially her Bassett Hounds; Fred and Wilbur. She had a strong devotion to her family, especially her mom, whom she cared for even during her own illness. She will be remembered for the loved she shared with family and friends, her humble mannerisms, and the kindness she shared with friends and animals. Laurine also loved the holidays, especially Christmas, Halloween and the 4th of July. She especially enjoyed celebrating these days with family and friends. She was also a huge New England Patriots fan and was always cheering for them on game day. Laurine was the loving companion of John Hannon for 30 years. She was the devoted daughter of Virginia “Ginny” (Ugolini) Slattery of Burlington and the late Joseph Slattery. She was the sister of Linda McBroom & her husband Mark of Northville, MI. She was the proud aunt of Lauren & Ian McBroom. Funeral services will be held at the Edward V.
