• Notes

  Laura loved life and went where she was needed most. Family and home were truly close to her heart, and as an exceptionally supportive wife and mother she encouraged, nurtured, and homeschooled. She was a good cook, enjoyed activities such as taking photos and reading, and loved to sing. A 1982 graduate of Northwestern High School in Palmyra, Laura was a former Macoupin County Fair Queen. She earned a Dental Hygiene Associate degree and a Bachelor of Healthcare Management from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. At one point, she attended five different colleges at once in order to earn the credits necessary to accelerate her studies and graduate early. She had the selfless heart of a servant, was a great listener, and radiated warmth and hospitality while at home and at work. Through her professional career as a dental hygienist in several southern Illinois clinics as well as the Vandalia state prison, her personality could make people from all walks of life feel at ease. As a member of Dieterich Christian Church she was involved in teaching Sunday school and Bible school. Prior to this, she was part of the Brown Christian Church family in Kinmundy. She and Nathan assisted with a mission in Panama in 2003, where she was instrumental in opening a dental clinic which provided services and taught basic oral hygiene. Laura held a deep love for Jesus and openly shared her faith with others, including many of the people who sat for just a while in her dental chair.
