Laurine was born on September 22, 1928, the daughter of Lloyd and Hazel (Smith) Schmidt in Staples, Minnesota. She grew up in Staples, Minnesota and attended the public school there.
When Laurine was younger she worked as a waitress. She moved to Washington for a few years. Laurine was blessed with 8 children, Lloyd, Clifford, Gaylord, Mark, Fred, Dan, David, and Marcy and she loved being a Mom. While the children were growing up, she was able to stay at home and care for them.
