Laura Mead Obituary
Laura was born and spent her childhood years in San Diego, CA. As a teenager, she moved with her parents to Fairbanks, AK, where she studied journalism at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. After college she moved to Anchorage, AK, and later retired from the First National Bank Alaska. After a few years of traveling, she settled in East Wenatchee eight years ago.
While living in East Wenatchee, Laura volunteered and later worked at the Performing Arts Center; a job that she truly loved. Laura was an avid reader and frequent patron of the East Wenatchee Public Library. She also loved to crochet and tend to her beautiful English garden.
Laura L. Mead is survived by her mother, Shirley Mead, East Wenatchee; sister, Christine Wright, AK and NV; grandsons, Kenneth Webber, Anchorage, AK, and Jonathan Webber, AK and WA; great-grandsons, Kenneth Paul Webber Jr., Kyle Webber and Kevin Webber, all of Anchorage, AK. Her father, Paul Mead, East Wenatchee, preceded her in death.
No funeral services will be held. A family gathering will be held at a later date. Laura is buried at Evergreen Memorial Park, East Wenatchee, WA.

I miss my life long friend. Laura was as loyal and up beat as she was stubborn. She got so much joy tending her flowers and cat, Sterling and watching professional sports live or on TV.I appreciate her care and giving nature toward my daughter. I am so lucky to have re-connected with her when she moved from Alaska. We can all learn from her example. Love you,Laura.
