Laurel loved her family deeply and was overjoyed with her grandchildren. She worked with special needs children in classrooms for years where she made a positive impact on those in need of help and compassion. She contributed her time to charity whenever possible and tried her best to walk in the presence of the Lord.  Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you."
