Laura A. Louden, age 85, of McKeesport, died on January 4, 2025, at AHN Forbes Hospital. Born September 12, 1939, in McKeesport, she was the daughter of the late Elmer and Edith (Harbert) Clark and wife of the late Walter J. Louden.  For many years, Laura was a waitress at Woody's, where her friendly demeanor and genuine interactions created a welcoming atmosphere for customers and colleagues alike. A former member of the Beulah Park United Methodist Church in McKeesport, Laura found solace and connection within her faith community, embodying the values of love and compassion.  As a devoted softball mom and wife, Laura was actively involved with the White Oak Athletic Association, supporting her children's athletic endeavors with enthusiasm and pride. Her commitment extended beyond sports; she cherished the joy of socializing and entertaining, often bringing friends and family together to share laughter and create memories.  Laura had a passion for life's simple pleasures. She delighted in watching TV soaps, tackling crossword puzzles, and engaging in spirited games with her card club. Her love for music was evident in her enthusiastic dancing, especially when it came to the jitterbug and the classic oldies that she so adored.

Laura is survived by children, Laura Louden, of McKeesport, and Gregory A. Louden, of Ft. Lauderdale, FL; brothers, David (Connie) Clark, of FL, and James (Valarie) Clark, of NC; a niece, Sarah Clark; nephew, Dustin Clark.
