Laura Jean Briggs
8/28/66 to 5/4/23
Laura Jean Briggs, passed suddenly but peacefully in her sleep on May 4, 2023.
Loving daughter of Robert Briggs Sr. and Linda (Meuse) Briggs.
Laura is survived by her daughter, Jacquelyn, her grandchildren Leila Lin and Simone Charles, and her fiancé Mark Artuscheske.
She also leaves behind her brother Bob Briggs and his wife Julann, sister Jennifer Briggs Downey, her nieces, and nephews who she loves dearly, Bobby, Ryan, and Rylie Briggs, and Derrick Downey and his wife Jessica, Jay Downey and his wife Katie, Anna Downey, and Kevin Downey, great nieces and nephews, Jason, Addie, Callie and Lochlann, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, including Jacki’s Dad, Scott Braxten, and his mother Barbara Braxten aka GG.
Laura was raised in Tewksbury but found her travelling soul in her early adult years. She loved to travel any time she could, and Colorado was one of her favorite places to be and it is fitting that it’s where she was able to watch her final sunset.
The family would like to give special thanks to her soul sister Cheryl Martin for handling things in Colorado and bringing Laura home to us.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Laura’s name to either American Heart Association or Step up for Soldiers.
A celebration of life service will be held at Lifepoint Church, 3600 S. College Rd, Wilmington, NC on May 21, 2023, at 2pm. All are welcome.
Another celebration of life will be held in Tewksbury for friends and family at a later date.
