Laura was born on September 14, 1951, in Milwaukee, Wisc. She graduated from Bay View High School in 1969 and married the love of her life, Steven D. Davis, in 1973. For many years she was a stay-at-home mom devoting herself to raising her four sons. She then began her successful career in medical software sales at Eclipse Software. She loved helping people and enjoyed her work. She also loved to travel, golf, read, socialize, and vacation at the beach with her family.

Her family was her everything and her faith in Jesus Christ strong. To her friends and extended family members, she was a wonderful listener and faithful companion. She had a very generous spirit and could easily make people laugh and smile.
