Laura Prochnow, age 64 of St. Helen's, Oregon passed away peacefully in her home, February 13, 2025 from terminal cancer.
Laura was a dedicated parent, along with her husband Eric, to their two sons Matthew and Nicholas and she was very busy in the role of a stay-at-home mom until the boys entered high school. At that point she started working for the State of Oregon as a home health care worker where she was very dedicated to the people in her care. Laura loved the outdoors. Many vacations were spent with the family camping, hiking or clamming and while she loved all of those activities, the beach was her favorite place to be.
Laura is survived by her husband Eric Prochnow, and their two sons Matthew and Nicholas, all of St. Helen's, Oregon. She is also survived by her three sisters: Jennifer Sperling of North Bend, Oregon, Rebecca Pratt of Woodland, California, and Theresa Belcher of Sitka, Alaska.
A memorial service will be held for Laura at the Columbia Foursquare Church, 555 Commons Dr, St Helens, OR, on Saturday March 1, 2025 at 11:00 AM
