Laura Grooters

She was preceded in death by her grandparents Casey and Dorothy Gouwens; grandfather, John Eriks; uncle, Terry Gouwens and aunt, Leigh Eriks.

She will be deeply missed by her husband, Richard Grooters; children Erynn (Patrick) Simon, Amanda (Jonathon) Chapman, Stephanie Grooters, Skyler (Katelyn) Eriks, Cameron Friesema, and Casey Friesema; grandchildren Brylee Chapman, Ryan “Bubba” Chapman, Elizabeth “Little Dot” Simon, and one “on the way;” parents Lon (Libby) Eriks and Joan (Tom) Bergman; brother, Brent Eriks; and many extended family and friends.

Laura’s favorite place to visit and relax was England Point Resort on Gun Lake, where she was also a member. She was a very bright individual who would often complete puzzle games and crossword puzzles with ease. She read thousands of books in her spare time. Generosity was one of Laura’s most prevalent qualities. Often, she could be found either giving a donation to someone she met, financially supporting children through World Vision, or using her gift of sewing to make blankets for newborn members of her family and friends. Most importantly, she loved her family and her family loved her.
