We will miss our Mom for the rest of our lives. We will miss going on trips with her, the holidays, and the many get-togethers we had throughout the year. She loved being a grandma more than anything in the world. It was her favorite title in life. She also adored her two dogs, Layla and Freyja. They were her world.
She was a valued employee at the University of Utah (HMHI) for over 20 years. She loved her job and her co-workers. Laura also volunteered her time with CASA and worked with many young children. She was always wanting to go above and beyond to help anyone who needed it.
Her children ask for friends and family to please join us in a Celebration of Laura's Life on June 24, 2023. Laura's favorite season was the summer, and we know it was her wish to celebrate her life in the warm months with everyone who loved her. Details will come as the date gets closer.
