Laura Stahl

She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Marvin Graham Stahl; children, Scott Stahl (Elizabeth) and Allison Colvin (Anthony); grandchildren Alex, Graham, Zachary, Garrett, Lauren, Natalie, Bridget. She loved Lindsey White (Cody) like a daughter and their children Asher, Lincoln; mother Wanda J Dunnagan (Jimmy), sisters Mary, Leona, Janie, and families; brother-in-law Wayne (Ronda); nieces and nephews Mike, Jason, Stephen, Carriann, Chad, and families, along with many others she considered family; and lifelong best friends Vicki Trevino (Rolando), Kathy Bohlander (Doctor Mark), Paula Lundin (Jeff), Leslie Oberholzer (Roy) and families. She is preceded in death by her parents, mother and father-in-law, brothers and sisters.

She was loved by so many and touched so many lives, it's impossible to see how far and wide her impact has made on this world. She suffered for so long and had become so discouraged from not being able to shine her light like she'd done her whole life. She was considered a matchmaker, baby stealer, late night counselor, baby sitter, a 2nd mom to so many, a friend... I could go on and on and still not come close to describing the impact she made on everyone around her. Most importantly, she was a woman of God. Christ's compassion poured out through her and reached far and wide.
