Laurel Naomi Hansen Draper
Laurel (Laurie) Naomi Draper returned home to her Heavenly Father on January 26th at her home in Logan due to complications from intestinal surgery and cancer.
Laurel was born on November 6, 1956 to Ephriam A. and Kathern P. Hansen. She grew up in Boise and later Shoshone Idaho. After graduating from Shoshone High School, Laurel attended Ricks College and BYU.
Laurel married and was sealed to her best friend, Michael Bret Draper in the Logan Temple on April 10, 1999. They made their home in Logan.
She enjoyed crocheting baby dresses, cooking and trying new recipes, and traveling to visit family and southern Utah canyons and parks with her husband. She also enjoyed singing in the ward choir and with family and friends at home, especially during the holiday season. She worked for 15 years at TYCO in Logan and enjoyed the day she retired from there most of all.
