Laura Hopkins Obituary

LAURA HOPKINS

MAITLAND, Fla. — Laura Beth Hopkins, 27, of Maitland, FL, formerly of Ottawa, died May 5, 2015. She was born June 4, 1987 in Lima, the only daughter of Forest and Deborah, sister to Jarod and Austin. She leaves behind grandparents, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and her love, Adam.

Laura was our "free spirit". She loved people for what they were in their hearts and never judged someone by how they looked on the outside. Her passion was singing and dancing. She had a contagious smile and a "get your chin up" speech for whoever would listen. We'll miss her deeply. Heaven now has another beautiful voice to sing with the angels and we'll meet her again there.

A Memorial Service will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, May 9, 2015 at New Creation Lutheran Church, Ottawa with Rev. Ken Pollitz officiating. There will be visitation one hour prior to the service at the church.

Condolences can be expressed at: www.lovefuneralhome.com.

Ecclesiastics 3:4 "A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance."
