of West Memphis, AR

May 16, 1980 - October 4, 2025

Laura Deann Coleman passed away peacefully on October 4, 2025, at 12:21 p.m., at the age of 45.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, and a lifelong resident of Marion and West Memphis, Arkansas, Laura was preceded in death by her loving parents, J.R. and Betty Coleman; her grandparents Jessie and Juanita Barber and Rae and Marguerite Coleman; and many of her beloved fur babies.

She is survived by her sister, Sarah (Tony) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; her partner of eleven years, Josh Hutcherson of Marion; her two nieces, Micah Cupples of Conway, Arkansas, and Madelyn Cupples of Starkville, Mississippi; her horses Dixie and Scratch; and her cherished rescue cats.

Laura had a heart of gold and a deep love for all of God's creatures. She would stop traffic to rescue a turtle, and every stray kitten somehow knew her home was a safe haven. During a winter snowstorm, she once took in a litter of orphaned kittens whose mother had passed away. An act that perfectly captured her gentle, compassionate spirit. Her animals were truly her family, and her horses Dixie and Scratch, along with her rescue cats, will forever be a part of her story.

Laura lived her life quietly, privately, and with tremendous heart. In keeping with her wishes and the humble way she lived, there will be no formal service. In remembrance of Laura, please consider donating to your local animal rescue or shelter in her honor.

The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to McKenzie at Baptist Crittenden ER and Rachel at St. Francis ICU for their exceptional and compassionate care of Laura.
