MTN. GREEN/CONIFER, COLORADO – Laura Kay Parker Graves and her three children: Kaleb, Kelsey and Cameron returned home to their Heavenly Father as a result of an automobile accident near Rawlins, Wyoming on their way home to Colorado on Sunday, March 26, 2006.

Laura was born December 2, 1965 at Clark Air Base in the Philippines, to Monica and Gary Howard Parker. She attended Morgan High School and was on the drill team and was the Valedictorian of her graduating class in 1984.

In 1968, Laura married Curtis Graves for time and all eternity in the Ogden Temple. She then went on to graduate from Weber State University with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene.

Laura was an exceptional mother who spent countless hours playing with her children and was a devoted and loving wife. She enjoyed crafts and spending time with the young women in her church.

She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has served in many capacities; the latest as a Stake Camp Coordinator.

She was quick to make friends and always had a beautiful smile to share. Her absence will leave a lasting affect on the countless lives she touched and the people she loved.
