Laura Kathleen Beach, 71, of Hernando, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025.
Born on May 4, 1954, Laura was the beloved daughter of the late Katherine Ruth Peterson Carroll and James Parker Carroll. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose warmth and adventurous spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew her.
Laura is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, Gary Ray Beach of Hernando, MS; her son Aaron Parker Beach and his wife Angela of Olive Branch, MS; and her daughter Kelly Denise Marohl and her husband Arthur of Orlando, FL. She was the proud and adoring "Memaw" to her cherished grandchildren Julie Stephanie Beach, Katherine Nicole Beach, and Mikayla Brynn Fugate (husband Alex), and great nephew Parker David Fulton.
She is also survived by her siblings Mary Lynn Willey (husband Mike) of Hernando, MS; David Parker Carroll (wife Evie) of Nashville, TN; and Kenneth Roy Carroll (wife Laura) of Edgewater, FL; as well as her nephew Jared David Fulton, niece Jessica Fulton, and aunts Bertha Duvall and Mary Ann Kinkaid.
Laura loved gardening, traveling, being outdoors, cooking, and shopping. Above all, she adored her family and was always ready for an adventure. Her kindness, laughter, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the charity of their choice. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Laura, please visit our floral store.
