Laura Jean Ackerson of Kinston, N.C., went to meet her Lord in July of 2011.
She was born in Hastings, Mich., on April 30, 1984 to Rodger Ackerson and Brenda Ackerson.
In 1996, Laura and her mother, Brenda, moved to Iowa. Laura graduated from Lynville-Sully High School. She moved to Kinston, N.C., where she worked as a business woman in Graphic Design, while raising her sons, Grant and Gentel. Her family attended Grace Fellowship Church.
