Laura Rose QUINN

Laura was one of the first friends I made in university, and I'm so grateful that our paths crossed in that first semester in 2017. I adored her wit, her infectious enthusiasm, and her sometimes dry, sometimes snarky, and almost always hilariously inappropriate jokes, quips, puns, and everything in between. She was a fiercely loyal friend and the most enthusiastic cheerleader. I vividly remember her giddy enthusiasm over Ellie. We were in the lobby of the Fisher & Paykel theatre in the...

A truely special person, friend and colleague. Laura treated everyone she met with such respect and love. I was very blessed to have started working at the same time as her, she´s someone I´ll forever look up to and strive to catch up to (a truely impossible feat). I´ll forever be grateful for the time we had with Laura and deeply regret we didn´t get more of it. We´ll miss you Laura

Laura had a more profound impact than she could ever know on those around her. I didn´t have the privilege of knowing her for long but in the time I did she consistently displayed how beautiful she was inside and out. To say she will be missed by everyone who had the chance to meet her is an understatement. Rest in peace Laura

Laurs was incredibly clever and diligent, had such quick wit, was wonderfully quirky, and actually quite cheeky! I feel very privileged to have worked with her, admitted her to the profession which she genuinely excelled in, and been her friend for 3 years. Her focus was unparalleled (only looking up if you tapped her shoulder, or a dog appeared in the office!). She listened intently and fully to your stories (big or small, exciting or boring - she remembered every detail), and she...

My heartfelt condolences to Laura´s family, friends, team colleagues and other loved ones. I´m so very sorry for your loss. She will be dearly missed.

Laura, or "Quinny" was the perfect student. Her curiosity and voracious thirst for knowledge; together with an acute understanding of the power and beauty of words, made her a standout. Beyond teaching, I mentored her and came to know, and hugely appreciate, her rapier wit, kindness and beautiful soul. Go well, dear Quinny.

I have nothing but the best of memories with Laura, especially the four of us playing Marco Polo! It's been many years but I can still see her smile and hear her laugh - thank you Laura! Sending all my love across the world to everyone, especially Holly, Steph, and Barry.

Laura and I did all our schooling together. Always appreciated her company as we were the token girls in our web class and because of that always sat together. I am truely devastated for her whanau and those close with her. You were greatly loved by many Laura . Rest in peace

Laura meant a great deal to me. She was one of my first best friends and the most important person in my life for a number of years. I don´t really know what to say to here to capture what I´m feeling. She was so funny, she might have been a genius but she used that intellect to tell the most well-timed, outrageous joke you would never expect. Not everyone got to meet the Laura that I knew, but when she was her realest self she was undeniably electric. I will love her and miss her...
