Laurel never knew a stranger. She was the most compassionate, caring, and selfless person in the world. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother very dedicated to her family. Laurel was a servant and good friend to all. She hurt when you hurt, and was happy when you were happy, She was the mother of all mothers taking everyone under her wing and making them feel like one of her own. Laurel's favorite pastimes were creating artistic paintings, gardening, and most of all cooking and feeding everyone. Her house was always full, and rarely empty. She always made everyone feel welcome. Laurel was young at heart and eager to laugh. She will be dearly missed by all ===================
