Laurel Weigelt

WEIGELT, Laurel Elizabeth (Anderson)

A blazing force of light has gone dark. Laurel slipped away from us at home on April 28, 2016 at the age of 48. Wife and partner in crime to John, and supercool mom to Max and Brynn - her greatest achievements – Laurel has gone to be with her beloved Nan. A proud alumnus of Trafalgar Castle School and Queen's University, Laurel embraced life, celebrated joy, and savoured family and friends. Laurel loved to write, travel, and with a trademark sense of mischief, was always up for an adventure. Laurel illuminated the lives of everyone she met, and made new friends every day. Her joyful spirit lives on in all who knew her, including siblings Piper, Angela, and Frank, (predeceased by James), and special friends Ruth, Rosa, Sandi, and Scott. Friends may call at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road (between Bayshore and Baseline Rd), Nepean o n Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from 5 to 8 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held in the chapel on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Laurel to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, the Queen's Student Financial Assistance Fund, or the Writers' Trust of Canada Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers are appreciated. #JoLoMoBo
