It is with deepest sorrow that we announce that Laura Lee (Livingstone) Irving passed away suddenly at home on November 22nd 2024, due to complications from her battle with cancer. Her husband was able to be with her. Laura was known for her passion and dedication to her family and friends, and a love of music, often to be found dancing around the kitchen.
Laura will join her father, Fred Livingstone, stepmother Darlene Adams, and two sisters, Deena and Tanya in the next life. She is Survived by her Mother Helen (Wasson), brothers, Marc and Matthew, and sister Alison. Her loss will be most felt by her loving husband, Reg Irving, after 41 years of marriage. Laura also had two children, Corey Irving, and Stephanie “Steph” Irving (Christa Skinner), as well as one grandchild, Rylee, who was the light of her life. She had numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins who will cherish her memory.
Laura was a dedicated employee at the IWK Heart Center for over 30 years, even planning on returning to work after her treatment finished. She touched many lives and worked hard every day, to support families and patients. Her love for her work shone through, and she made a difference every day. She desperately wanted to regain her strength to get back to the work she loved. In her office a sign was posted by the door which read “The office where all Heart Center related questions can always be answered”. Her loss will be felt across the department.
A giving heart, even in death, her body will be donated to medical research, and a celebration of life will be held at 2:30 pm (Atlantic Time) on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at Bedford Baptist Church, 158 Rocky Lake Dr. Bedford NS. A live stream will be available on Bedford Baptist Church’s YouTube Channel (@bedfordbaptistchurch8921).
Donations in her name can be made to the IWK Heart Centre, or the Cancer Society.
