Laurel was a very giving, caring, loving person. She had a huge heart; always putting others first, and helped anyone in need. She very much loved her beloved “Grandbabies”; Ayden and Evan, who meant the world to her. Laurel loved traveling south to warm weather with friends on vacation, enjoyed the beach and most of all, flip flops; which she wore year round, even in the snow. Her sense of humor and contagious laughter will never be forgotten. To know Laurel was to love her. Anyone she met would agree she was the most amazing person; she will be greatly missed by many, many people.
