Laura COUTU Obituary

Beloved mother and friend, took God's hand on March 31, 2021 at the age of 95. Laura worked as a bookkeep- er for several busi- nesses in the Van Nuys area before moving to Lancaster with her husband Leonard in 1959. She volunteered with many charitable organizations in the valley, including serving as a teacher's aide at Monte Vista Elementary School for 7 years and as treasurer for the Antelope Valley High School Band Booster Club for 3 years. Laura was also very active in numerous band fundraisers. She will be deeply missed by her friends and family, especially her son Dale.
