Laura Irene Lane

July 5, 1926 - December 24, 2019

Laura Irene McComas Lane, 93, of Bud Mountain went to be with her Lord on December 24, 2019 following a long illness. Born July 5, 1926 at Corinne, she was the daughter of the late John and Mary McComas. Laura was a lifelong resident of Bud Mountain and a homemaker. Affectionately known as "Mawmaw", Laura was known for her country cooking and always had a pot of brown beans and a pan of cornbread ready for any visitors that might stop in unannounced.  Her recipes consisted of measurements like a "dab, tad or a pinch" because, as she put it, "you just know."  She also enjoyed gardening, canning and quilting.  Prior to her illness, you could find Laura, her husband and grandkids taking an evening walk, watching birds and picking flowers. In addition to her parents, Laura is preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Mart Lane; an infant daughter, Mary Jane Lane; a son, Nelson Lane; a daughter-in-law: Deborah Hale Lane; brothers, Luther McComas and Auldie McComas and a sister, Mazie Lane.
