Laura’s Obituary
It is with broken hearts that the family of the late Laura (Chick) Laverne Walsh announces her passing from the Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre, Baie Verte, NL on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, aged 69 years.
Laura, better known to her family and friends as Chick was born on March 15, 1954 in Port aux Choix to Donald and Debbie Spence. She met and married Donald Walsh and they were blessed with 33 years together. They settled in Fleur de Lys, Donald’s home town, where they enjoyed their work and married life.
Chick loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren very much. She was a kind and giving soul who loved to help family and friends whenever she could. She had a huge personality and if you met her once, you knew her forever. A down to earth person who always had time for others.
Chick started working at the young age of 14 in a bakery. Over the years she worked as a fish plant worker, fire monitor for FPI, and as a fisheries monitor. When she wasn’t working, she loved the outdoors. Berry picking, trouting, and a good cup of tea in the woods were some of her favourite things. She also enjoyed a game of cards or a chance at Bingo until her health took a turn and she couldn’t any longer.
Chick will be forever missed and remembered by everyone who knew her.
Left with a lifetime of memories is her husband of 33 years, Donald Walsh; grandchildren, Ashton and Anita; great-grandchildren, Kenny, Kenzie and Kohen; siblings, Ivy Kelly, Kenneth Spence, Michelle Spence; siblings-in-law, Bridget Billard, Anthony Walsh, Michael Walsh (KAthleen), Sarah Smith, Bart Walsh Jr. (Marion), Elaine Collins, Emilda House (Morgan), Corina Walsh (Brent), Thomas Walsh (Marla); plus a large circle of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
