Laurene Margaret Sinema April 22, 1929 - November 23, 2003. Laurene passed away peacefully after a three year battle with cancer. Laurene touched countless lives in her more than 50 years of church and community service. She served in various leadership capacities in civic organizations, businesses and her church with an unfailing optimism and strength. Her last 27 years were devoted to her love of quilting.

As owner of The Quilted Apple, Founder of the Arizona Quilter's Guild, President of the Arizona Quilt Search Project, and member of the International Quilt Council, Laurene has sparked the love of hand quilting and applique in many lives throughout the world. Laurene loved people and had the unique ability to make each person that she was with feel they were completely special. She loved her family and was a loyal wife and mother.
