Laura Anna Kesterson Fomby, 80, of Texarkana, Texas, passed away Tuesday, October 15, 2013 in a local nursing home after a long and courageous battle from Parkinson's disease.

Laura was a joy to be around. She loved to shop until she dropped with her family and friends. She loved to travel, play cards, dominoes, bunko, farkel, bingo, and didn't like to lose! While a resident at Reunion Plaza for the past 6 years, she had many new and old friends and a loving staff who took excellent care of her.
