They were married on April 8, 1995 in Cokato. Laura and Joel have five children, Jaden, Gabe, Ashlyn, Zach and Ava, who were the joy of her life.
Laura accomplished her master’s degree in Clinical Social Work with high honors after attending Anoka Ramsey Community College, St. Scholastica and St. Catherine University. In her jobs she worked in healthcare, enjoying working with aged people with dementia, especially the crabby ones.
Laura enjoyed camping, scrapbooking, reading and whatever else involved being with family. She always had an ear to listen and hands ready to help. One of her finest talents was fitting a whole dilly bar in her mouth. She was loved dearly and will be greatly missed.
Laura passed away unexpectedly July 2, 2017 at Abbott-Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis at the age of 42 years and 8 months. She was preceded in death by her father, Dennis R. Anderson and by her brother, Dennis J. Anderson.

I remember the day Laura was born. I was babysitting Lisa and Dan when Dennis and Karen went out for a pizza and a movie. When they came home they asked me to spend the night. Dennis woke me up in the middle of the night and told me that they were headed to the hospital. I was so happy to have another niece! Laura is going to missed for so many things and in so many different ways to different people. She was spunky, full of life, fun loving, loved to make people smile and laugh. You could always count on her to give you some kind of funny face. :)
Laura has blessed so many people and I’m so lucky and blessed to have her for a niece. I will miss her very much and I’m so glad we had a week together one year ago. Karen, Laura and I had a great time visiting, watching Outlander, they had to catch me up on all the seasons.
Joel, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I know what a rough road you are on. Know that you are not alone. She is going to be missed very much, but has made a lasting impression on your children and everyone around her.
Love and prayers to all of you!
