Burial will be in Wildwood Cemetery.  

Laura was born on September 25, 1957 at McLaren in Flint where she was adopted by Guy Hugh and Donelda Jean (Meredith) Stoppert. She graduated from Hamady High School in 1975. 

She married Daniel Martin on February 16, 1985. Together they owned and operated Martin Funeral Homes in Chesaning and New Lothrop for many years. 

Laura was known for her kindness to all and her bubbly personality with the most brightest squinty eyed smile to go along with it. She always carried a happiness about her wherever she went, including even public bathroom stalls where you could catch her humming a happy tune without her even realizing she was doing it. She had a way of even making strangers smile as much as she did her family and friends. What she enjoyed most was giving to those she loved and cared about without ever expecting anything in return. Above all, Laura's greatest passion was being a Grandma. 

Being Laura was adopted, she has always had an interest in learning about her biological family and with much time and research, she was blessed to have found and met her biological mother, Yvonne Delaney and biological half sister, Tina Bullerdick who remained a special part of her life. Also, three other biological half siblings who she didn't have the opportunity to have met yet but held them close to her heart; Terri Haveman, Steve Bullerdick and Paul Helvie. 

Laura is survived by her husband Daniel Martin; Son Joseph Martin; Daugther Meredith Martin; Her very very special Grandson Kaydan Stephen Martin AKA her "little bug"; Mother Donelda Jean Stoppert; Sister Louise (Jim) Reed; Mother in-law Mary Martin; Sisters and brothers in law; Judy (Harvey) Gross, Mary Martin, Chris (Jane) Martin and Bill Martin, several nieces and nephews and many dear friends. 

She is predeceased by her father; Guy Hugh Stoppert, Father in law; Raymond Martin and her very special Aunt Dorie (Meredith) and Uncle Doug Kitchell who introduced her to the love of her life on a blind date. Laura will be laid to rest next to Aunt Dorie and Uncle Doug so one day when Dan joins her, the 4 of them will be back together. 

Memorial contributions can be made to the family which will be passed along to many of Laura's favorite interests. 

Laura's family would also like to thank the entire team at St Mary's Ascension 7th floor north unit that showed her so much care, respect and dignity.
