Laura's obituary
Laura was born in Auburn, Maine on January 26, 1935. She was the first of three daughters born to Harold and Marguerite Arris Allard.
Laura grew up in Brunswick, Maine and graduated Valedictorian of the Brunswick High School Class of 1952.
On February 4, 1956, Laura married Gerald K. Swain and they lived in East Brunswick. Together they had 3 children; Brian, Brenda and Barbara. Gerald passed away in April 1972.
Later in life Laura married Leonard C. Brann. Together they had a daughter named Pamela.
Laura was involved in many things in Brunswick. She coached Ponytail softball, served as President of the Will Ryder bowling league (where she was also an avid bowler), sang & performed in the annual American Cancer Society Crusade Capers, socialized at the 55 Plus Center, ushered at the Maine State Music Theater, volunteered at the Soup Kitchen and was involved in local politics. She had a deep passion for writing letters to the editor in the Times Record and the love for her many pets throughout the years. She loved watching the New England Patriots football games even after moving to Colorado.
Laura loved the Brunswick area and lived here 72 years before moving to Colorado in 2007 to be closer to her youngest daughter, Pam Migliore and family.
Laura loved the milder climate and scenic mountains of Colorado and the short distance to visit frequently with her nephew, Richard and Toni Crocker.
Laura was predeceased by both of her parents; a sister, Audrey; a nephew, Jimmy; her son-in-law Mike Rollins and her first husband of 16 years, Gerald.
Laura is survived by her sister, Nellie Berry of Ewa Beach, Hawaii; four children, Brian Swain of San Antonio, Texas; Brenda Veale and husband Brian of Gwinn, Michigan; Barbara Rollins and companion Jim McDuff of Brunswick, Maine; and Pamela Migliore and husband Rob of Thornton, Colorado. She has numerous nieces and nephews.
Laura was Nana to eight grandchildren; Brandon, Breanna and Bradley Veale; Wendell and John Bailey; James Rollins; and Siena and Jackson Migliore.
Laura was Super Nana to 9 great-grandchildren; Harper and Theo Kovarik; Gabriel Lawrence; Tiffany, Julia, Trent and Kendra Bailey; and Austen and Lillie Rollins.
A Memorial Service is planned for Spring 2020 in the Brunswick area. Interment will be at the Harding Cemetery on Bath Road following the service. Details for these services will be available by contacting one of Laura’s surviving children.
