Renowned for her sociable nature, Laude had an extraordinary ability to connect with people everywhere she went. Her presence brought happiness and laughter to those around her, and she was always eager to uplift the spirits of others.

Laude is survived by her beloved children: Margarett Lubin and her husband Pierre-Michel Lubin; Rose Brutus and her husband Greg Brutus; and Switzer Viel. She leaves behind her treasured grandchildren, Taifa Lubin, Kayla Lubin, Neema Laude Lubin, Mya Brutus, Saige Brutus, Dasmin Cloe Brutus, Jacolby Lee Viel, and Renesanse Laurence Viel.
