Laura Simpson

is survived by her two children, Deborah Simpson Williams, Dr. David Simpson

and six grandchildren.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut she graduated from Pratt Institute and taught art to

many young artists in New York and New Jersey. Her journey led her to attend

and graduate from Colombia Bible College. There she met the love of her life, Bill.

After marrying in 1962, they settled in Orlando. Laura taught art at Winter Park

HS for over 15 years until she became a real estate agent for Century 21. Upon

retiring, she and Bill traveled the country facilitating and teaching Bible clubs for

young people with Campus Crusade.

Her art has won notable accolades through the years including being featured in

the Winter Park Art Festival. Her devotion to the Lord was expressed often by

scripture accompanying her paintings. Faith gave her strength through life’s trials

and peace as she passed to be with her Lord.
