Laura Lee Tveit

Laura Lee Tveit, a devoted lover of nature and avid traveler, passed away on June 1st, 2024, at the age of 75. Born on September 20, 1948, she spent her days nurturing her flower gardens, delighting in feeding the birds, and taking leisurely walks to immerse herself in the beauty of the world around her. Her passion for exploring new places took her to distant lands like Italy and Ireland, where she marveled at the diverse cultures and landscapes.
 
Growing up in the picturesque city of San Diego, California, Laura cultivated a deep appreciation for the natural world from a young age. She instilled these values in her beloved sons, who will forever cherish the memories of her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love.  

She is preceded in death by her husband Gary; son, Michael; parents, Gordon and Laverne; and brother, Larry. 

She is survived by sons, Christopher (Cheryl), Shawn (Saira); daughter-in-law, Angela; grandchildren, Alex, Natalie, Anna, Jueli, Marshall, Sarah, Sophia; brothers, Dale (Melinda), Terry (Jeri); other family members and friends.
