Obituary

Laura Jeneal McDonald, born March 13, 1940, in Seattle, Washington, passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on the evening of February 1, 2024. She was surrounded by her family at her home in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Laura is survived by her husband of 57 years, Don McDonald (Edmond, Oklahoma); children Jeneal (Jeff) Parks (Edmond, Oklahoma), Jeff (Robyn) McDonald (Lakeland, Florida), and Janette Freyre (The Village, Oklahoma); grandchildren Garrett (Jen) Parks, Chandler Parks, Mallory Parks, Zachary (Caroline) McDonald, Joshua McDonald, LauraAnn Freyre, and Shaymen Freyre; and great-grandchildren Lilly and Waylon Parks.

Laura and her husband, Don, labored for 54 years with The Navigators Ministry, sharing the Gospel and discipling college students in North Dakota, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and New Mexico. Later their ministry transitioned to serving families in New Mexico and Oklahoma. They also served as missionaries in Pushkin, Russia (near St Petersburg.) Over their many years of serving the Lord together, Laura helped to create a warm and welcoming environment in their home as they ministered to students and families. Even in her final days, she continued to profess love for her Savior, trust in her heavenly Father, and assurance of her heavenly home. Laura's family will have fond memories of their time with her as they heed her call to love the Lord Jesus because He first loved them.

The Celebration of Life Service will be 10:00 AM Saturday, February 24, 2024 at the Moore Funeral Home Southlawn Chapel, 9350 East 51st Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

For those coming from out of town to attend the Celebration of Life service in Tulsa, please consider lodging in the Edmond/Oklahoma City area as we will be hosting a reception on both Friday and Saturday nights at our home in Edmond and we would love to visit with you.
