LAURA WHITAKER OBITUARY

Laura Whitaker, age 82, was called home to her Lord and Savior on Saturday
January 13, 2024, at the Jim & Betsy Bryan Hospice House of UNC Health in
Pittsboro.

Laura was born in Moncure, North Carolina on October 16, 1941, to the late David
Guinn and Myrtle Burns Guinn.

She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Charles E Whitaker, two
daughters, Lorianne Anderson and husband Chad of Pittsboro, Lisa Braxton and
husband Michael of Pittsboro, two sisters, Edith Carter of Sanford, Linda O’Neil
of Lamar, South Carolina, and one brother David Quinn and wife Claudette of
Lamar, South Carolina, one granddaughter, Ashley Thomas and husband Will of
Pittsboro, two great granddaughters, Evelyn and Gracelyn, one great grandson
Cayden, and several nieces, nephews, great nieces, and nephews.

Growing up in the Moncure community, she graduated from Moncure High School in
1960, where she excelled as a basketball player. After graduation she started
working, with a long career, in banking and retired after 44 years. Laura worked
at Donaldson Funeral Home & Crematory where she enjoyed her time working with
the Donaldson Funeral Home & Crematory family.

What Laura really enjoyed was spending time with her family, friends, and
traveling to the mountains, beach, and shopping. Every Friday night she enjoyed
socializing with her friends at the Dry Dock in Siler City.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, January 18, 2024, from
12:00PM-12:50PM at Donaldson Funeral Home & Crematory Griffin Chapel. A Memorial
Service will follow at 1:00PM with Rev. Ray Gooch presiding.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for donations to be made in Laura’s memory

To the family;
I knew Ms. Laura from Floretta Imports, where I was the floral designer and bow
maker. We got to know one another years ago, and I always enjoyed her coming in
and our conversations. I remember when her granddaughter got married several
years back, and Laura came in telling me about a luncheon, I believe, that she
was giving in her honor. We had a great friend relationship. Prayers for you all
during this difficult time-

Hearing of this, my thoughts went to Mama's seeing her again. Mama use to do our
banking where Laura worked for all these years. Once Mama passed, I've been
doing the banking. Charles, we spoke about how you missed your customers and
that you had to go back to work, because you couldn't watch but so much of a
certain TV show. God Bless Y'all! Love Y'all!
