Laura Wood

SWANTON – The David Wood Family wants to share that on Thursday, March 26th Laura Wood of Swanton, Vermont, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and a profound sense of kindness and devotion to God and those she loved.

Laura Wood was born on August 15, 1939 the daughter of Donald E. Wood and Laura D. Fleming Wood. She graduated from Swanton High School and was a life-long member of the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church where she was active in the church choir, bible study, morning prayer and reader of lessons.

Laura leaves behind her brother, David Wood (Mary), her niece, Sarah Nielsen (Jon), her nephew, Daniel (Lou-Anne), her great nephews and niece, Cameron Nielsen (Caylin), Easton Nielsen, Connon Nielsen, Drew Wood, and Stella Wood. Special Family Member, Jessica Dittmar (Mike, Madison, Emmett, and Theodore).

Laura was predeceased by her Mother, Laura D. Wood, Father, Donald E. Wood, and Beloved second mother, Elma Wood and of course her beloved dogs, Jesse and Happy!

The Wood Family wants to extend appreciation to all the people who have supported Laura over the last several years at Holiday House and Franklin County Rehab Center. Nurses and Caregivers were always so attentive to her needs. She loved playing the piano for you and enjoyed her many hours of activities!

In honor of the pastoral care that Holy Trinity Episcopal Church provided to Laura over the several years, we want to thank Linda Wirts, Natalie Good, and Kathleen Schotto for their wonderful spiritual care.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 38 Grand Avenue, Swanton, VT. This will allow Laura’s love for God to be experienced by others.

At the request of the family, there will be a funeral service at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church on Tuesday, March 31st at 11:00 AM. A small reception will follow in the parish hall. Family Burial service will occur at Riverside Cemetery a later date.
