Laura was a vivacious, cultured, intelligent woman who could be seen enjoying everything from the local symphony orchestra to canoeing on our neighborhood lake. She was kind to me and my family, even when our girls, at a young age, would bat a softball against the fence panels separating our homes. She'd gently chide them, then cheerfully throw the ball back so they could continue their play. She was a great neighbor who loved decorating her home at Christmas, Halloween, and other good times. She had a great sense of humor. We'll remember her smile. We will miss her.

Family, it is with sadness that I address you at the passing of your loved one. Laura was a witty, warm and sincere Christian woman; a joy to all who knew her. She held a very special place in our birth year group of ladies in the church. Since her illness, the congregation has missed Laura and her presence was especially missed among her ladies group! Know that she was loved and respected in the Loudon congregation. Be blessed and take care.

Family, it is with sadness that I address you about the loss of your loved one. Her loving Christian spirit, her sweet smile and of course her warm presence coupled with smart conversation and tenacity were paramount to me. Several women are her birthday partners and she acknowledged us as such! Just know that we love Laura. God bless and take care!
