Laurine Kent, 85, of Oskaloosa passed away Friday morning, December 30, 2016, at the Mahaska Health Partnership Hospice Serenity House in Oskaloosa. Laurine Grace Kent, daughter of Oddie and Daisy (Barrett) Clark, was born October 29, 1931, in Springville, Iowa.

Laurine was a 1949 graduate of Springville High School.

While living in Cedar Rapids, Laurine worked at Rockwell Collins and also as a realtor. October 30, 1989, she married Keith Elmer Kent, and they made their home in Oskaloosa. She worked as a home health aide for five years before her retirement.

Laurine and Keith enjoyed their home at Lake Keomah and the fishing, boating and quiet serenity of nature, the setting provided. She also delighted in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Laurine’s family includes her husband, Keith of Oskaloosa; her children and their spouses: Tom (& Diane) Ely of Belleville, Illinois, Terry Ely of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Kay Ely of Shakopee, Minnesota, and Tina (& Dale) Carter of Lead, South Dakota; a step-son, Scott Kent of Chicago, Illinois; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and one sister, Neoma Robertson of Martelle, Iowa.

In addition to her parents, Laurine was preceded in death by a son, Tim Ely; two sisters, Grace Ralson and Leona Crumpler; and a brother, Russell Clark.

As was her wish, Laurine’s body has been cremated.
A graveside memorial service will be held at Mount Clark Cemetery in Central City, Iowa at a later date. Garland-Van Arkel-Langkamp Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
