Predecceased by parents, James and Alta Grannen. Sister of Sheila Grannen of Chicago and Stuart Grannen of Chicago.
Beloved Aunt “Dar Dar” to her nephew, Farrell Grannen of Chicago.
Life partner, Dana McCormick of New Orleans and canine partners, Aesop, Quiet World, and Velvet.
Laura loved life in her darling New Orleans. She will be sorely missed by her life companion, brother, sister, nephew, and many cousins throughout the country, myriad of friends in many cities, and many beloved pets. Laura was a good citizen, lover and rescuer of animals-in-need, a kindred spirit to all creative people and ideas.
In 2020, she celebrated her 35th year of sobriety. Her family hopes that Laura’s penchant for “good-awful” puns will be tolerated by friends, old and new, in the great beyond.
The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the doctors, nurses, techs, and professional staff at the University Medical Center, New Orleans; they all treated Laura with the utmost competence and kindness.
Laura would greatly appreciate any and all generosity toward any animal-in-need, anywhere or anytime… as was her way.
A celebration will be held in Laura’s memory at a later date.
