Lauree Lee Vucinich, 68

Lauree Lee Vucinich, 68, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, began her heavenly ascent Aug. 6, 2025, while surrounded by family. Lauree was born Feb. 14, 1957, to Dixie and Daniel Vucinich.

Lauree's love for life and God was immeasurable. Regardless of how tough life could get, you would always hear her say, “Think positive, it could always be worse!”

Lauree loved to spend her free time listening to music, feeding the doves and spending time with family and friends. Of course, she did all of that with freshly combed hair and glitter around her beautiful blue eyes. She wore her glitter with purpose and said, “The world could use more sparkle!”

Lauree also loved to pass out little angels. This was one of her ways of saying, “Thank you for being a part of my life, you’re special to me.” She was an absolute giver, always worrying about everyone else's needs before her own. 

Lauree, a big Sister, Aunt, Mother, Grandmother and dear friend, will be missed by many as she touched so many hearts in such a unique and special way. Let's remember her with every smile, kind gesture and by loving deeply. By releasing grudges and trying to live each day with a positive attitude. 

With her new angel wings, she is flying high with her mom in heaven, Dixie Vucinich.

She is now watching over her father, Daniel Vucinich; four brothers, Dana (wife Julie) Vucinich, Mark (wife Tina) Vucinich, Jeff Vucinich and Beau (wife Jessica) Vucinich; her daughter, Sheree Shore (fiancé Rob Lee); three beautiful grandchildren, Aneesa, Branden and Kaiden Lee; and several nieces and nephews.
