For thirty-two years, Laura taught 5th grade in Potosi. Throughout her career, several generations of students passed through her classroom. Many of these individuals had continued to be part of her life. She was known as a very special individual whose pleasant disposition, cheerful smile, and optimistic outlook on life served as an inspiration.
Laura was devoted to her community and served in many community organizations. She was a founding member of the Washington County Memorial Hospital Pink Ladies Auxiliary and a charter member of the Potosi Lioness Club. When the Lions Club allowed women to join, she was one of the first. Laura was active in the Order of the Eastern Star, Ruth’s Workbasket Extension, the Minerva Society, and the Presbyterian Church Circle. As a forty-seven year member of the Washington County 4-H Clubs, she was a leader for her son and granddaughter and continued her service for many years.

She never stopped being a member of the community she loved. She even voted the last Wednesday of her life for one of her former 5th grade students.
Since 1979, Laura had enjoyed all of the activities at the Sayers Senior Center. In 2004, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives honored Laura with an outstanding Missouri Senior Citizen House Resolution recognizing her as the oldest active resident of Sayers Senior Center. Because of her involvement with the Center, she was able to enjoy her passion for dancing. She rarely missed a dance and always encouraged her family to attend and dance with her.
Laura enjoyed passing along childhood memories to her family. With her wonderful sense of humor, they always brought a laugh. Her granddaughters and great-grandchildren will miss being entertained by her childhood stories. She will be lovingly remembered by everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
