Laura was born on April 15, 1962, in Albert Lea, the daughter of John and Edna (Olsen) Herfendal. She attended Albert Lea Schools, and met her soul mate Brett Attig when she was 14. Brett and Laura were married on May 30, 1981, at Grace Lutheran Church and made their life and raised their family in Albert Lea. Laura died at home suddenly on Tuesday, May 24, from an apparent heart attack, just days short of their 35th wedding Anniversary. She had worked at Trails Truck Stop and was most recently working in the kitchen at Thorne Crest Retirement Community.
Her fun loving spirit made her a friend to all. She embraced everyone and put a bright spot in the lives of everyone she met. She not only enjoyed watching comedies, but was a comedy act within herself. She enjoyed her many travels with Brett and the girls, and she loved tooling around on their motorcycle. The past years brought the greatest joy to her life, as she was truly blessed by her grandchildren, Aaron, Andy, Makenzie, Mason, Alexis, Layla and William.
Laura will be greatly missed by her family, husband Brett, mother Edna Herfendal, two daughters: Amy (Mike) Woitas and children Aaron, Andy, MaKenzie and Mason, Bobbie Attig(Jed Bair)and children Alexis and Layla, honorary grandson William Bair; brothers and sisters: Larry (Lisa) Herfendal, Annette (Owen) Besco, John (Steph) Herfendal, Gary (Jodi) Herfendal, Wendy Kuiper and Darla Stewart; in-laws: Howard (Imogene) Attig, Marlene (Gary) Bergeson; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Marlon (Wanda) Attig, Kim (David) Moen, Jason (Sarah) Attig, Mark (Casie) Attig, Janel(Robert)Heideman and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her father John Herfendal, nephew Tony Herfendal, brothers-in-law Ted Stewart and John Kuiper and aunt Kairen Cummings. The loss of Laura leaves a big hole in our hearts, but we will cherish the loving memories forever. In Laura's words, "It's time to go…. LOVE YOU, WITH ALL MY HEART, TO THE MOON AND BACK!"
