Laura Ann Swanson

On April 15, 2020 Laura Ann Swanson passed peacefully in Golden, Colorado. Laura (aka Gobbie) was born on August 19, 1935 to Carlos and Jonna Comstock, she was one of 9 sibling who grew up in Colorado. Laura met and married her true love Donald Ray Swanson and they were married for 63 years, their union together brought 4 children. Laura was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother. Laura had many talents, she enjoyed traveling, camping, fishing, boating, she enjoyed singing and even sang on the radio, many would say she had the voice of an angel. Laura was the life of the party, as Donald would always say she was the the queen of the ball no matter if he took her to the poorest part of the town or the richest. Laura was full of life and loved any kind of adventure, her and Don even went to Mexico to find buried treasure. Laura was extremely afraid of heights but learned to fly an airplane to surprise Don. Laura would do anything for her family even if it meant beating up the mother of the local boy scouts, she did not allow anyone to say or do anything bad to her children and if you did anything there was definitely a price to pay. Laura was a huge animal lover and even saved a mouse and kept it as a pet. She had no fear when it came to wildlife, she followed and chased a bear down to the creek just to get a better look. Even certain insects had a place in her heart and once gave a praying mantis a ride on the motorcycle to bring it to her house. Laura was the best grandmother and loved to teach us how to cook and bake. She would always make your favorite food and desserts. She would also tell her grandchildren amazing stories about her childhood and the many adventures she had been on, Laura Swanson made friends anywhere. Laura had a heart of gold and will truly be missed, I know that we are all very thankful for all the years we have had her and are extremely lucky to have known her.

Because of the virus a service will be held at a later date.
