Laura Dotson-Dodson, born on June 1, 1971, in San Francisco, California, passed away on August 1, 2026, in Paducah, Kentucky.
One of Laura’s greatest joys was crocheting. She found peace and purpose in creating with her hands, and her work reflected the care and attention she brought to every part of her life. She also had a deep affection for animals, and her gentle nature extended naturally to the creatures she cared for. Her love of animals was yet another expression of her tender spirit and her appreciation for the comfort and companionship they brought. Above all, Laura was a loving mom, grandmother, and wife. Her family was the center of her world, and she devoted herself to them with unwavering love and loyalty. She took great pride in her role as a mother and grandmother, and she cherished the moments spent with her children and grandchildren. Her home was a place of love, laughter, and support, and her presence brought a sense of stability and warmth that will be deeply missed. As a wife, she shared her life with devotion and grace, building a partnership grounded in care and commitment.
Laura is survived by her husband of four years, Stephen Dodson of Paducah; a daughter, Kayla Davidson of Paducah; three grandchildren, Hailee Rose Davidson, John Curtis Swanson, and Sophia Lea Davidson; and a brother, Tom (Cindy) Dotson of Evansburg, Pennsylvania.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John Thomas Dotson and Karen Allmon Dotson; and a brother, Sam Dotson.
There are no services scheduled at this time.
