She delighted in cooking, baking, crafts, helping with the cooking club for children in Osoyoos and camping with her husband and children. Over the years she enjoyed trips to Disneyland, Ontario, Hawaii, Alberta, Saskatchewan.

From: Cathy Martins
Relation: Friend
Thinking of all of you during this very difficult time Matt, Tyson, Mathew Jr. and Cruz. There are no words to express how sorry I am after hearing of Laura’s passing. She will be missed by all of those who knew and loved her. Her spirit will live on in all of her boys whom she loved so so much. She was a beautiful person inside and out. So kind and caring and so comforting to all. I remember sitting in her chair at her salon on Main street and being able to share anything with her and knew that she would never judge me. I will forever miss her welcoming smile and her beautiful laugh. Gone way too soon but never forgotten. Think of all of your wonderful moments and cherish them forever. We were all blessed to know her. She will always be in your hearts. My deepest condolences to all of you. Thoughts and Prayers. xoxo
