Laurie Oblak

Laurie Oblak, 63, of Washington passed away peacefully surrounded by her remaining loving family June 3, 2019.  She was born on January 29, 1956, a loving daughter of the late Richard “Dickey”and the late Amy Gmiter Kirchmyer.  Her passion in life was her pets and the endless hours of enjoyment and contentment that they provided. When all else was lost, they were there to help her carry on. She loved bingo and enjoyed her years playing dartball. She was a long-time member of the Washington Moose, Lodge 22, were she spent many memorable moments of laughing and loving life. Surviving is her tireless, giving, and loving husband of 34 years, Richard Oblak. A favorite quote, “We respect each other’s opinions, and we respect each other’s right to have an opinion. We sometimes disagree, obviously, but we always talked it out.” was the foundation of their love. Also, she leaves behind her son Sean R. Walters (Amy Casciola Walters) that her love for was limitless. Unfortunately, her youngest son RJ passed away at age 14 before she was able to celebrate his life. In addition, she is survived by a loving sister, Chara Kirchmyer, of Tucson Arizona, along with nieces and nephews. Departed is a loving brother who also lived in Arizona, Kim Richard Kirchmyer. Her extended in-law family with parents, brothers, sisters, and nephews provided a wealth of family and support during her recent troubled years. Family and friends will be received Thursday, June 6, 2019 from 2 to 8 p.m. at William G. Neal Funeral Home, 925 Allison Ave, Washington, where services will be held Friday, June 7, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor Mike Singo officiating. Burial will follow at Washington Cemetery. In lieu of flowers (although a few would be alright, lol) Laurie requested that donations be made in her name to the Washington Humane Society, P. O. Box 66, Eighty-Four, PA 15330.
