FOCUS—February’s Featured TOF Woman

Laura and her husband Bud hail from Charleston, SC and moved to East Asheville when Bud’s employer transferred him. However, they were not strangers to this area. Bud’s family is originally from Fairview.
They have three daughters all graduates of Reynolds High and four grandchildren. When Bud’s parents passed away, they re-located to the family “homeplace” in Fairview. They were active in Beverly Hills Baptist and Laura admits it was hard to leave, but felt it was important to be involved in a local Church. In October 2006, they found Trinity of Fairview and have been blessing TOF ever since.
While homemaking was her career, she had a few jobs outside the home including teaching and working for 211 Information & Referral Service were, as she puts it, “I got to tell people where to go!” She enjoys fishing, the beach, reading, Beth Moore Bible Studies and gardening.
Volunteering at Church was a way for her to make new friends. She recommends this approach to women who want to get connected. Presently, she is the Leadership Coordinator for the Women’s Team which is hosting the upcoming Birthday Bash. Laura’s desire is for all TOF women to become active team members. There is a place for everyone. Let her know if you would like to join.
