Laura Forst, 73, passed away in Palm Beach, Florida on August 28, 2021.

Laura was born on April 11th, 1948 to Eugenia and Edward Forst in Munich, Germany. Laura graduated from high school in Chicago, Illinois at age 17, and then got her Bachelor’s degree in Education at the University of Illinois.

After teaching high school for a few years in the Chicago area, she moved with her then-husband Dr. David Silverglade to Columbus, Ohio where they went on to have three daughters, Elisa, Janna, and Ilana, whom they raised in Bexley, Ohio.

In 1982, Laura got her Masters in Social Work at the Ohio State University and in 1990 received her PhD in Psychology from the Ohio State University. Upon graduation, Laura dedicated her time and German Village practice to helping patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and dissociative identity disorders.

Laura moved to the Palm Beach, Florida area in the early 2000s where she became a competitive bridge player and instructor and worked on her whimsical, impressionistic art.

Laura is survived by her children: Elisa Silverglade, Janna and Dan Mandell, and Ilana and Ethan Roberts—and her grandchildren: Joe, Jackson, Stella, Elijah, Jacob, and Mia. A virtual memorial service will be held on September 9th at 7:30 PM.
