WATERVILLE — Laurie J. (McCorrison) Bushey, 64, of Waterville, passed away July 27, 2018, at MaineGeneral Hospital in Augusta surrounded by her family.
She was born Aug. 26, 1953, in Waterville, the daughter of Glendon P. and Shirley M. (Powell) McCorrison.
She was educated in Waterville, graduating from Waterville High School in 1971. She continued her education at the University of Maine Farmington, graduating in 1974, with a bachelor’s degree. On July 8, 1995, she married Ralph Bushey in Waterville.
Laurie’s teaching career spanned 44 years, beginning with fifth grade in 1974/75. Besides being a fifth-grade teacher, she held the positions of grade-five team leader, Homework Club teacher, curriculum/assessment leader of social studies, curriculum leader for science, and team leader for English language arts and math. She was also a member of the American Legion Post #5 Auxiliary. She loved to crochet and has made many things for many friends; she also loved watching movies every Sunday with her sister Beth. Her big interest was her “kids” — all 44 years of them.
She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Ralph Bushey of Waterville; a sister, Beth Taylor, and husband Lawrence of China Village; step-daughter, Vickie Jamison and husband Paul of Taft, Texas. A big hug to special friends, Judy and Lenore, for all the help they have been the family, and a big thank-you to neighbors, Mary and Lauren, for their help.
