Laura was a lifelong member at Williams Memorial Presbyterian Church. She served her Lord and Savior in many capacities of church work but mostly by living a Godly life. She enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and neighbors. She often shared memories of the past with much detail and could still recite scriptures and recall catechism questions/answers. Her influence will live on in many of us as she resides in her heavenly home.
