Laura Jeanne LaChance, 91, passed home to heaven
on Monday, August 15, 2016.
She was born on September 11, 1924, to Glenn and
Delpha Lown in Bloomington, Illinois. In 1943,
she graduated from Bloomington High School. She
met and married Verdun LaChance, then moved to
various locations in California and finally
settled in the high desert area of Lucerne
Valley, California, where they worked and raised
their three children.
She was a career employee for the Postal Service
there and retired at the age of 62, upon which
they moved to Eatonville, Washington, then later
settled in Bonners Ferry.
She led a quiet and meaningful life, was never
bored, enjoyed every place and house she lived
in and every place she worked. She was always
thankful and there for her children and
grandchildren who she loved very much. She was
often described as “sweet” to all who met or
knew her. She enjoyed her spare moments making
beautiful quilts, which she found the most
reward in giving away.
What gave her the most meaning and purpose in
life though, was her relationship with Jesus
Christ. She left us with these words: “I have
lived by the grace and mercy of God and because
of Jesus' death and resurrection for my sin, am
able to go be with Him forever”.
She was an example to all her children of her
faith which they all three share in the hope of
heaven through Jesus Christ as well.
She was preceded in death by her husband Verdun,
her parents Glen and Delpha Lown, and siblings
Dick Lown, Ruth Brown, Harriet Dubois, and
Dorothy Basham.
She is survived by her children Maureen (Robert)
Lange of Bonners Ferry, Dietrich (wife Rebekah)
Lange, of Coeur d' Alene, and Stefan Lange of
Bonners Ferry, and grandchildren Darryl (Linda)
LaChance and their four children: Analisa,
Rachael, Gian, and Ricco all of San Bernardino,
California. Coleen (Jay) Trocke of Bonners
Ferry, son Christian currently in the Air Force
and Jessy Trocke of Bonners Ferry.
She leaves a very big space to fill in her
family's' lives and will be sorely missed. But
we have joy that she is completely healed, whole
and young again seeing her Savior and the
glories of heaven where we look forward to being
reunited.
Memorial to be announced. |
