She was predeceased by gramma Jean; sister Natasha; brother Tyler; Papa Moe; and sister-in-law Chris. Laura graduated with a degree in broadcasting from Robertson College. She enjoyed a brief career in film production, before opening her store Books and Crannies. Later Laura excelled in her career as a new home painter with Doerksen Painting and Decorating. Her final occupation was working alongside her husband Darren helping to design and build props, furniture and games for her friends at Enigma Escapes. Some of Laura's favourite hobbies included fishing, going to the beach, camping, garage saling, bird watching, gardening, reading, antiquing, rock climbing, going to bingo, drawing, painting, sewing, puzzles, movies, "guilty pleasure" tv shows, dancing, music, hanging out with family and friends, and watching her daughter's softball games. Laura was a headstrong woman, who would not be afraid to tell you what was on her mind. She had a smile that would light up a room and warm your heart. Laura cared for and loved all of her family and friends. She was a loving mother and partner, beautiful daughter/granddaughter, caring sister, and a trustworthy friend. She is already sadly missed, but will forever be in our hearts. We love you Laura. A special thank you to the staff on the palliative care ward at the St. Boniface Hospital, your compassionate care was very much appreciated.
