In Memory

Laura Atkinson

Laura Maxwell gained her angel wings on March 08, 2023 at LDS Hospital in SLC, UT. Laura was 77 years old. Laura was born 25 January 1946 in Salt Lake City.

Laura's life would seem too short to many, but those of us who were Blessed to be touched by her understand that her existence and the imprint She left on our hearts exceed the quantity of time that She stayed here. Laura was talented and adventurous in many aspects of her life. She was a master of crochet, an avid 49ers fan and an amazing grandmother and mother. When Laura wasn't working on her hobbies or watching blue bloods, she could be found in her chair, practicing crocheting clothes and blankets for any newborns in her community. Not a day went by where Laura didn't talk about how much her children and family meant to her -- her family was arguably her most important achievement in life.

Laura was one of a kind. She was someone who anyone could feel safe with. Anyone who needed a mother could always come to Laura and she would love them unconditionally. She changed so many lives and was so loved. She put everyone above herself. She has been described as a saint by many. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. Anything you needed she would be there to give it to you. She was always a good member of the community. She was there for her neighbors and friends when they needed support.
