Sister Laura will be greatly missed by the Hamburges. She was, indeed, a strong woman and a great woman of faith. We will fondly remember her participation at family gatherings, her great love of the Green Back Packers, her pride in her Irish heritage, and her welcoming and open heart. Love from all the Bartletts (Bill, Therese Celine, Moya and Nathan).

It was a great blessing to our entire Hamburge family when Sister Laura reconnected with our mother, her cousin Nell King Hamburge, in their later years. Sister Laura enjoyed the many Hamburge family activities she was invited to, and despite his Austrian heritage, our father Frank became a favorite with her. I was blessed that Sister Laura accompanied my parents to visit me and my family in Ohio. Sister Laura never forgot her Wisconsin roots, and I always knew that the way to her heart was through a gift of good cheese. She was a strong woman who made a strong contribution to the areas in which she served. We will miss her.
