Laura Scribner 80 of Denton passed away peacefully on June 3, 2020. She was born Feb. 14, 1940. She was the daughter of Herbert Woodrow and Betty Scott Mercer.

Laura married her high school sweetheart James Earl Scribner in 1959. They were married for 58 years. She was a wonderful mother to her three sons David Earl, Steven Wayne and Kenneth Lee Scribner. Her hobbies included whatever her 3 boys and husband were into; ie camping in tents, snow skiing, hunting and all of their sports and school activities. She learned to cook pheasant, striper, quail and deer gourmet style. Laura enjoyed entertaining and decorating for her family holidays. You could always find her in her apron in the kitchen creating a wonderful homemade feast. She was James' right hand in their insurance agency for 40 plus years.

She enjoyed playing bridge, cross stitch and being a member of Denton Woman's Club.

Her 8 grandchildren were her greatest joy. She never missed a sporting or school event and always came with her bag of snacks. She enjoyed weekends at her lake house preparing fabulous meals while everyone was out on the boat or fishing. Her selfless act of service and huge heart for all of us will be greatly missed.
