My deepest sympathy to you and your family Ty. May the Grace and infinite Love of God help you during this time of sorrow and pain. Please know that we will keep you in our prayers and hope that the wonderful memories of Laura will help your broken heart mend. God Bless. Joe, Deb and JJ Rufer

My deepest sympathies to Ty and family! I worked with Laura so many years ago and every time I saw her out and about shopping it was like we never lost touch! She was a beautiful and funny soul and will never forget her humor! I always looked for her at Kohls or JoAnns fabrics. Seems like we always ran into each other there! Your soul lives on in your family who was everything to her! Will miss your smile! Karen Shilts

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting Laura in person, but we worked together (albeit virtually) as coworkers in the UW Health Mammography department. She was always so kind, courteous, helpful, and ever so patient with me as I learned the ropes of the breast imaging file room in my first year. She was such a wonderful person, and the department has forever been made better by her presence. May your memories of her continue to bring you joy and light, and my thoughts are extended to her friends and family.

I am truly sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure knowing and working with Laura off and on with all these years of UW. She was truly a wonderful person. Sending my deepest sympathies, and prayers to you and your family. From fellow mammographer, Janet Jo Parrell.

Laura was one of the very first people I met when I started working at UW Health 25 years ago. She was always the nicest, courteous and hardest worker. In recent years she trained me and we became each others person to reach out to with issues and problems. She had a voice I will never forget. I know how much she was looking forward enjoying a laid back, family filled retirement. Breaks my heart this wont happen for her. I will always remember her as a beautiful and hard working human. Prayers for her family strength in this tragic loss. Jenny Severson

Laura was always so friendly yet professional in her role. Sending hugs to her family! She will be missed at Union Corners.

I worked with Laura at all the clinics she worked at (I was A Float Tech) She started calling me LuLu. After awhile, I started calling her Trixie! After that, we were Lu and Trix! We were always going to get together in Sturgeon Bay! I'm really going to miss Laura!

Although we did not know Laura our Hearts go out to her family at this difficult time-May the Love of Family and Friends be with you all at this time- Doug and Janice Knight from Brodhead.

Laura and I became good friends when we worked together at Beloit Hospital. I was in their wedding in 1983. As time went on we lost contact but I will always remember her fondly. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
