Laura was born on January 6, 1943. She graduated from Central high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the Class of 1960 and continued her education at Tulsa Community College, where she earned her Associate Degree.

Laura lived a life centered on kindness, generosity, and service to others. She devoted countless hours volunteering to teach adults how to read, believing that education could change lives. She was an active member of Toastmasters International and enjoyed coaching softball, encouraging and inspiring those around her.

In her free time, Laura found great joy in creating beautiful, intricate stockings by hand for family and friends, gifts that will be treasured for years to come. She loved watching Jeopardy! and dancing competitions and was an enthusiastic fan of Elvis Presley. One of her favorite memories was having the opportunity to see Elvis perform in concert.

Above all, Laura loved her family and cherished every opportunity to spend time with those she loved. She will be remembered for her compassionate heart, generous spirit, and the lasting impact she made on the lives of so many.
