Laura Dvm Obituary
(June 26, 1958 - September 14, 2020) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of doctor Laura E Bogert DVM. Wife of 39 years to Nicolaas (Chef Nico) Bogert.
Doctor Laura graduated from VPI school of veterinary medicine in 1991.
She owned and operated the North Cape Animal clinic from 1996 until 2016
Her passion for healing animals was unsurpassed.
Dr.B as she was affectionately referred to by her staff also loved adventure and traveled extensively.
She loved the outdoors, from hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains to snorkeling the blue waters of the Caribbean. Her sense of adventure brought her to sky diving, she was an accomplished snow skier and liked boating the warm waters of South West Florida. Laura loved singing karaoke with her family and friends.
At home she was passionate about her butterfly garden, and seeing the butterflies emerge from the chrysalis made her happy and proud.
Dr Laura preceded in death her father, Harold Gilbert and her six brothers.
She left behind Her extensive family in the US as well as her in-laws in Europe.
A memorial to Doctor Laura Bogert has been planned for October 4th 2020 from 1pm until 4pm at KJ's steakhouse 10950 Cleveland Ave Fort Myers Fl 33907

What could anybody say about Laura?! Other than she was the most sensitive, kind, caring person I ever had the pleasure of meeting. I am writing this scant minutes after learning of her passing and expressing my condolences to her brother David. The tears haven’t started yet, the shock is fresh. Many things will always remind me of Laura. Of course (pictured) the Prom in 1976, music, the VW microbus, the smell of Herbal Essence shampoo which was all I used until they changed the formula. - Dennis

What would I like to say about Laura? She was one in a million, 10 million.
She took me under her wing in so many ways. She taught me respect, motivation, goals, to never settle for less, to feel empowered at my core as a child, a young woman, and as a mother. She never let me believe for 2 seconds that there wasn't Anything I couldn't do! What a valuable thing
She loved animals, my goodness she was an amazing Doctor. Watching her dance with Nico was watching love in motion, there truly is no other way of describing it. She loved music; kareoke was one of her all time favs!! She was so great. There's just no putting one story to all of her.
I miss her the more than any words can Express oh, but I know that she is at peace. Till we meet again.
I love you Dr. B♡♡

Well, it's lovely to see Laura with sweet little pets--but I always remember her as she carried her pet boa to introduce us when we visited her home in Florida. Aunt Arlene

Laura was one of the first veterinarians I met when I moved to Fort Myers from Miami in the early 90’s. I think she came right up to me and introduced herself at a Caloosa meeting and asked me who I was. She was bold, outgoing as well as outspoken. We shared similar views on veterinary medicine, treatment protocols and passion for our patients. Whenever we saw each other we always had interesting cases to discuss as well as seeking advice from each other. She always greeted me and called me by name when she saw me even if there were many years in between. I last connected with Laura at the FVMA conference held in March of 2020. Of course we saw each other in the lunch line and ate lunch together and chatted like old times. May loving memories provide solace, hope, and peace to Laura’s family, closest friends and all who loved her
