Leaurel was born November 23, 1948, in Warsaw, Indiana, to the late John Tolliver

Camden and the late Mary Lucille Burton Camden. She was also preceded in death by

her sons, Jasen Michael Lube and Lance Eric Stath, as well as her brother, Richard Julian

Camden.

     Leaurel grew up in Pierceton, Indiana, graduating from Pierceton High School where she

enjoyed being a drummer in the school band. She excelled in home economics, sewing

her own clothes and becoming an exceptional cook, skills she continued to develop as a

Home Economics major at Purdue University.

She married Bruce Michael Lube in 1976, and together they began their life in Waco,

Texas before settling in Concord, North Carolina, where Bruce still resides in their family

home.

      A woman of many talents and tireless energy, Leaurel was a skilled seamstress and

upholsterer, running her own business with pride. Her love of animals was lifelong,

beginning with her dog Ikey and horse Sugar, and extending to a wide variety of pets

including chickens. She was an avid gardener, particularly passionate about growing and

collecting heirloom tomato seeds, and her culinary talents were legendary, especially at

her real estate open houses, which were always the best attended in the area.

Leaurel became a Realtor in Concord, earning multiple certifications including Certified

Residential Specialist (CRS). She was known not only for her professionalism but for the

warmth and hospitality she brought to every interaction. Her friendships were deep and

enduring; she maintained close ties with loved ones across the country, often traveling

simply to spend time with them. She enjoyed playing cards, hosting potluck football

gatherings, and attending the annual Heirloom Tomato Festival in Pierceton, where her

presence will be deeply missed.

     The family also received friends from 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm on Saturday, August 23, 2025,

at Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord. A funeral service was held in the chapel at 4:30

pm, officiated by Heather Littrell.

     Survivors include her husband, Bruce Lube; her daughter, Amber Lucille Lube Harrison

and son-in-law Zach Harrison; grandchildren Adelynn, Jonah, and Anistynn Harrison of

Concord, NC; grandson Tanner Howard and his wife Brittany; and great-grandchildren

Winslow, Zia, Vallea, and Briski Howard of Jacksonville, FL. She is also survived by her

siblings Jack Camden, Julia Frush, and Patricia Knott, all of Pierceton, Indiana.

     Memorial donations in her name may be made to the Animal Welfare League, 1048 S.

325 E., Pierceton, IN 46562, honoring her lifelong compassion for animals.
