Recent obituary: Laura Sue Denton

Laura Sue Denton of Dexter, age 62, passed away peacefully and calm on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021, at her home in Dexter after several fun-filled days with family and friends.

She had struggled with diabetes since age nine and throughout it all she was always a trooper and never complained.

Laura was born April 29, 1958, in Ann Arbor, the daughter of Paul Gene and Betty Mae Denton. She graduated from Dexter High in 1976. She worked at Lyndon Color Labs on Huron River Dr. in Dexter.

Laura loved shopping anywhere and everywhere. She loved dancing at Suds Factory, City Limits, Weber’s, and the Jackson Road Logging Company, just to name a few. Laura genuinely enjoyed talking and interacting with whomever she encountered. She was the social butterfly at Dialysis for the past 12 years where she lifted spirits, lit up the room and got everyone chatting — they loved her deeply.

A private service was held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Chelsea and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
