Laura Davis Conner passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019 at Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center. She was born Oct. 19, 1925 in Avon Park, Florida to Carl H. Davis and Millie T. Davis. The family moved and settled in Lake Wales where she worked at Hunt Brothers and met her husband of almost 50 years, Bob Conner.

She was a devoted wife and mother and enjoyed sharing life with many of her lifelong friends and families.
