Executive Director

Laura lost her third child, Terrah, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 1994 and Angel Eyes (formerly called The Colorado SIDS Program) reached out immediately. Laura has hosted lobster dinners for over 200 guests, founded the Angel Walk (formally the Walk to Remember). In 2014, she joined the Board of Directors and moved up to the President of the Board. In May 2024, Laura transitioned to Angel Eyes as the full-time Executive Director and has been fostering relationships within the Colorado community.

“Now that my children are grown, they too support Angel Eyes by volunteering and chairing events. It is our family’s way of honoring Terrah.”
