Ms. Hill went peacefully to be with her Lord on August 24, 2024 surrounded by all of her children. She was born during WWII and was equipped with the spirit of a fighter. A petite woman of 5 feet tall weighing only 100 pounds, she was affectionately called “5 feet of concrete”. She fought the trials of this life with the spirit of a warrior. Her strength was matched by her gentleness. She loved her family unconditionally with a servants heart and the endurance of an Olympic athlete. She loved making things around her beautiful. Decorating her home, keeping up her personal appearance and dressing fashionably were some of her favorite hobbies. Laura enjoyed keeping up with current events by watching endless hours of Fox News. She loved a good mystery and solving crime dramas. Laura’s greatest joy were her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great greatgrandchildren.
The family would like to thank Texarkana Hospice, Dr. John Nix, and Dr. Edward Eichler for the compassionate care that was extended to our beloved mother.
