Obituary: ROMERO, LAURA

Laura Ann Raisor Romero11/10/1982 - 5/8/2013Laura Ann Raisor Romero unexpectedly returned to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father on May 8, 2013, after a long-term illness. Laura was born on November 10, 1982 to David and Dianne Lambson Raisor. She has 3 sisters and 3 brothers, and 23 nieces and nephews who love and adore her. Laura attended Magna Elementary, where she loved wearing a plaid vest while singing with the Magna Music Makers, Brockbank Jr. High, and Cyprus High School. She was a member of the LDS church. Growing up she loved to sing and dance, and hang out with her friends. She loved to laugh and make others happy. Laura married Gerardo Flores (later divorced), and together they had two children, Gerardo Flores Jr. (who she lovingly called Dito), and Alicia Flores (known to her mother as Lici). Lici and Dito are her finest work, and her greatest joy. Laura later married the love of her life, Jorge Romero, who has been her rock and loving supporter, and a wonderful father to the kids. When they married, Laura gained another daughter, Ashley Soto, who she loved and adored. Laura spent her time helping others, enjoying holidays and family traditions, and taking care of her kids. She will be missed by her family and friends more than words can express, and we are grateful to know that families are forever. She is survived by her parents David and Dianne Raisor; husband Jorge Romero; children Gerardo and Alicia Flores, and Ashley Soto; siblings Dawn (Dan) Ramsey, Cami (Ryan) Greer, Cory (Crystal) Raisor, Jeff (Trynda) Raisor, Bryan (Krystal) Raisor, Cheryl (Mike) Evans; mother-in-law Reyna Romero; along with aunts, uncles and cousins. She was greeted on the other side by her grandmothers, and her grandpa who went to prepare the way for her just a few weeks ago. There will be a viewing Sunday, May 12, 2013 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, and Monday, May 13, 2013 from 10:30 11:45 am. Funeral services will immediately follow at 12:00 noon on Monday.
