Life story

"Laurel was born in Toledo, Ohio and graduated from Whitmer High School, before attending the University of Toledo. Afterwards she worked in collections at her father’s business for several years. She met and married Alex Dedes in 1983. In 1984 she gave birth to Matthew. In 1991 she relocated with her family to Charlottesville, Virginia where she enjoyed taking care of many horses, dogs, and cats (and maybe a fox or two). She passed after a long struggle with pneumonia and will be sorely missed! She was a true fighter and she was an inspiration to her many friends and family! "
