Publish in a newspaper
She was born on August 4, 1958, in Shawnee, Kansas, to Glen Thurston and Rose (Fox) Thurston. A longtime resident of Marceline, Laura was known for her vibrant spirit, love of family, and generous heart.
Laura worked for many years at Walmart, where her warm demeanor and hardworking nature left a lasting impression on coworkers and customers alike.
She had a passion for gardening and took pride in decorating her yard with color and care. Laura enjoyed swimming, horseback riding, and spending time at the casino. She loves listening to music, preparing meals for loved ones, and was especially known for her exceptional cooking. Time spent with her grandchildren brought her the greatest joy, and her home was often the heart of family gatherings. She was also a proud member of the Eagles in Marceline.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one grandson-Wesley Cochran, Jr.-and two sisters.
