Laura Dawn James went to her heavenly home October 8, 2018 at the age of 17 years old surrounded by her family and friends. Laura had been battling glioblastoma brain cancer since May of 2017. She was a loyal child of God, a huge Taylor Swift fan, a very loyal teammate, a vegan lifestyle promoter and the perfect daughter. She made us so proud with how she helped everyone and inspired us all to be better people. Laura will be forever remembered by her mom, Amber James; dad, Brian James; sister, Erika James; her grandparents, John and Wanda Barnett, Laurie Miles and Jim and Joyce James; her close friends, Hailie Luebbers, Olivia Couch and Ryelee Snider. She will also be remembered forever by our many family, friends and community who have loved her dearly. The Celebration of Life service will be held at the Elkins High School at 5 p.m. Wednesday, October 10, 2018. The address is 349 North Center St., Elkins, Ark. 72727. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the National Children's Cancer Society, Lighthouse Family Retreat, Arkansas Children's Hospital or the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Little Rock. Links to donate can be found on the Love for Laura Facebook page. Condolences at www.beardsfuneralchapel.com.
