Laura Jean (Coats) Skoglund

Graduating from Lake Oswego High School in 1978, Laura went on to attend Oregon State University, where she was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Laura graduated from Oregon State with her degree in accounting in 1982. She remained a loyal Beaver fan over the years and frequented Corvallis on weekends in the Fall to attend football games with friends and family.

Laura was a loving and devoted mother, as well as a loyal friend to many from her childhood, college and professional years. An avid animal lover, she enjoyed staying active by walking her two dogs, Bean and Ziggy, always meeting new friends along the way. Laura often entertained her friends and family with new stories of her furry friends.

Laura passed away peacefully October 15, 2018, surrounded by her family, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.
