Laura Sue
Bunch, daughter of John and Betty (Smith) Bird, was born September 13, 1941
in Adair County, Oklahoma, and departed this life to be with her Lord and
Savior surrounded by her family on May 12, 2019 at the age of 77 years.
She was preceded in death by
her parents; one son, Henry Lee Bunch; two sisters, Janie Grayson, and Lila
Gonzales; four brothers, Ocie Bird, Fabian Bird, Sammy Bird, and Wesley
Bird; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Laura absolutely loved the Lord
with all her heart and her faith was grounded in his promises. She loved
attending gospel singings and family gatherings, reading the Bible, picking
wild onions, sewing, cooking, cleaning and she enjoyed the view of many
flowers. Laura loved spending time with her family and friends. You could
always find her watching her children and grandchildren playing sports of
all kinds, she was their biggest fan. Most times you could drive by her
house and see her resting on the porch or under a shade tree. If you stopped
there was a guarantee that she would make you get out, visit and eat,
because there was always food on her table.
On January 6, 1972 she married
the love of her life, George Bunch and for 47 years she attempted to keep
him in line. Laura worked for many years at Stilwell Foods, also having
small jobs here and there. In most recent years, she enjoyed spending time
as a Homemaker.
