Laura Witkop Obituary

Laura Lee Witkop

Laura Lee Witkop (nee Good) born 02/27/1956, passed at home Easter Sunday 04/04/2021 suddenly from heart failure. Beloved daughter and stepdaughter of Blanche and Gordon, and George Revard, sister to Gordon and James. Laura dedicated her life to helping others and her passion for communication inspired many children. Laura helped establish the first hearing impaired preschool program at Schulze Elementary and as a Paraprofessional she helped guide many children to bright futures. Those years brought her many treasured memories in her retirement. Those surviving her include her spouse, Aaron, children Robert, the memory of baby James, Stuart, and Alicia, and grandchildren Salali, Minerva, and Liam. Her light shines on in the guidance she provided.
