It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Laura Elizabeth Fredrickson, beloved wife, daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and dearest friend, who departed this life on October 19th, 2025, at the age of 68. Laura was born on November 12th, 1956, and spent her years cultivating a life filled with love, faith, and service. We are comforted in the assurance of Laura believing in and receiving her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through His free gift of salvation.

A cherished member of the Campus Fellowship Church, Laura volunteered in many capacities, devoting her time and energy to serving her community with compassion and grace. Known for her creative spirit, she was particularly fond of making inspirational birthday cards for friends and family, bringing joy and warmth to their special days.

Laura is survived by her devoted husband, Dwight; her sons, Andrew (Emily), and Erik Fredrickson; her daughters, Evangeline Porter (Timothy), Olivia Webster (Jordan), Sophia Oliverio (Angelo), and Heidi Moody (Matthew); her mother, Laura L. Heiniger; her mother-in-law, Sophie Fredrickson; her sister-in-law, Mary Fredrickson; her brothers, James (Jackie), Steve (Mary), Jonathan (Leanne), and Joel (Cynthia) Heiniger; her 17 nieces and nephews; and her 19 grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by her family and all those who had the privilege to know her.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone for their love and support during this difficult time. We pray that Laura's memory will continue to inspire and uplift all who knew her.

We invite you to celebrate Laura's life with us on two different dates and locations.

The Visitation will be held on Monday, October 27 from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM with a Funeral Service at 10:30 AM at Western Springs Baptist Church, 4475 Wolf Rd, Western Springs, IL 60558, United States.
