Great sadness surrounds the announcement of the far too soon passing of Laura Kraemer; formerly Holdcroft. Laura was born to Norma and Derek Holdcroft March 27, 1976. She enjoyed a wonderful childhood spent with her brother Brian. During her forty two years here, Laura developed many long lasting childhood friendships. Laura’s interest as a student was to become a registered nurse. It is while studying at University in Windsor that Laura met Greg, who eight years later became her loving husband. Greg and Laura have shared a wonderful life together with their two sons Nolan and Calum. They have cherished the time spent on family vacations in Florida, numerous camping adventures and lots of exciting times in many hockey arenas. Calum and Nolan were truly blessed to have had Laura for their mother.
Laura’s kind and gentle approach has enriched the lives of numerous children throughout the world who are cared for at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Her compassion for helping others has touched the lives of many also living in Durham Region through her work in Public Health.
Laura will always be remembered and loved by her husband Greg, sons Nolan and Calum, her brother Brian and his wife Laurie.
