Laura Paine

Eggers

Laura Paine Eggers died at her home in Wichita Falls on Monday, May 5th at the age of 65. She was born on October 4, 1959 in La Mesa, California. Her parents, Doris Holtzen and Glenn Paine, preceded her in death, as did her beloved, Patrick Williams. She is survived by her two brothers, David and Jeffrey; sisters-in-law, Margaret and Kathryn; seven nieces and nephews; a great-nephew and a great-niece, all residing near Austin.

Laura loved her family and was especially close to her mother and her grandmother, Erna Obenhaus Holtzen. Laura had a gift for helping others and a particular sympathy for the elderly and those suffering physical or emotional distress, willing to assist those afflicted over long periods of time.

She thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors, being an accomplished equestrienne and a recreational fisherwoman. She also loved her pet cats. One of the delights of her life was residing for a while in the harsh, wild, and beautiful state of Alaska.

Laura's funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, 2025. It will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church of Clara, Texas (which is about seven miles west of Burkburnett and just south of Highway 240). After the service she will be buried in the Clara Cemetery nearby. There will be a memorial meal at the church after the interment.

Laura's family is very grateful to the caring and professional staff of Angels Care Hospice for their extensive and extreme efforts to help and comfort Laura.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Rathgeber Hospitality House of Wichita Falls or Trinity Lutheran Church of Clara at 11867 FM 1813, Iowa Park, Texas 76367.
