Laurel Kudla Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Laurel L. Kudla, a cherished soul who brought warmth and joy to all those who knew her. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 50 years, Robert L. Kudla, who stood by her side through every chapter of their life together.
Laurel was a dedicated and loving mother to her son, David (Jennifer) Kudla, nurturing him with love and guidance. She treasured her role as Nana to her grandchildren, Liam, Colin, and Owen, who brought her immense happiness and pride.
As a sister, Laurel was deeply loved by her siblings—Catherine (late Patrick) Dobies, Sandra Dorman, George Dorman, Florence Dorman, Elizabeth (Anthony) Moffe—and remembered fondly by those who have passed, including her late brother Wesley Jr. (late Michelle) Dorman. Laurel will be missed not just by her family, but also by her nieces and nephews, who will carry forward her spirit of kindness and love.
Family and friends are invited to join us in honoring Laurel’s life on Saturday January 17th from 3-7PM at New Comer Cremations & Funerals, located at 5090 Transit Rd., Depew, NY 14043. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to Pumpkin's Patch - An Independent Cat Rescue, which can be made via Paypal to [email protected].
We encourage everyone to share their memories and condolences online, as we come together to celebrate a life that touched so many. Laurel’s spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
