September 27, 1938 - May 12, 2015Laura Konradi Madsen, age 76, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died on May 12, 2015, in Sioux City, Iowa.
Laura Gregory, a daughter of Luke and Magdelina (Debrackeleire) Gregory, was born on September 27, 1938, in Dewey, Oklahoma.
Although she grew up in Rock Island, Illinois, she, later, moved to Pocahontas, Iowa, where she met Floyd Konradi.
On June 16, 1955, Laura married Floyd at the Resurrection of Our Lord Catholic Church in Pocahontas. Subsequently, they were blessed with two boys, James and Michael.
Together, they raised their family while Floyd worked for the City of Storm Lake. After James and Michael left home, Laura started working at the Pink Elephant and the Sail Inn Motel. She, also, worked as a housekeeper at the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center, retiring on April 20, 2011.
After Floyd’s death in 1982, Laura married Bill Madsen on April 6, 1989, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Alta, Iowa. They resided in Alta until Bill’s passing. Laura, then, returned to Storm Lake where she lived her remaining years.
A faithful member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Storm Lake, Laura regularly attended Saturday evening Mass. She was also a member of the Alta VFW Women’s Auxiliary. In her spare time, she loved to shop and play BINGO. Most of all, however, she loved spending time with her family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
