She was predeceased by her husband Bill Kerr, brother Archibald Jackson and sister Margaret Hobbs. She is survived by her sisters, Dugalda Dugie Robinson of The Pas and Joan Joanie Jackson of Toronto; as well as her extended family, the Kirtons; and many nieces and nephews. Laura grew up in The Pas and came into Winnipeg to pursue her nursing career; she graduated as Registered Nurse and worked for many years in this field. Laura also grew up around horses and was passionate in her love of riding; she was an accomplished equestrian and won many awards. Laura leaves us with a legacy of goodwill and kindness to others.
