Born on November 9, 1953, Laura was the daughter of Charles and Eva Morris, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her beloved son, William Tate Bowden. Despite profound losses, Laura’s resilience and grace touched all who knew her.

A woman of deep faith, Laura loved Jesus with all her heart. Her spiritual strength was the foundation of her life, and she radiated kindness and compassion wherever she went. Whether she was tending to her flower beds, sharing her musical talents, or cheering on her son as he played and coached football for the Bartlett Panthers, Laura found joy in the simple and meaningful moments.

Her legacy lives on in the love she gave, the faith she modeled, and the family she nurtured. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
