Laura Susanne Rowan, born December 15, 1968, was called home by her Father in heaven on February 16, 2026.
She was predeceased by her mother, Mary Slough. She is survived by her father, Stan (Vickie) Larison; her husband, Glenn Rowan; her daughters, Brittany Pieters, 29 (Kyle Romach), Brooke Pieters 27; Scott Pieters (father of her children); Step daughters, Aleena Rowan, 16, Zoe Rowan, 12, and Annalise Rowan, 11; her sisters, Theresa (Damon Coleman) Larison, Lindsay (Chase) Haislip, and Mariah (Austin) Hamilton; her son Myles, 1, her grandchild, Kinsley, 1 (daughter of Brittany and Kyle); her father-in-law, Stephen (Gail) Rowan; brother-in-law Paul (Vanessa) Rowan.
Though our hearts are deeply broken, we find comfort in knowing she is reunited in heaven with her mother—laughing, dancing, and at peace.
Laura’s greatest joy in life was her family. Her daughters were her entire world, and she poured her heart into every moment spent with them. She had a deep love for music and dancing, found peace in nature (especially on the back of a horse), saw everything in life as an adventure and treasured the time she shared with those she held close.
For many years, Laura served as a nurse, a role she embraced with compassion and dedication. She cared for her patients with the same tenderness and selflessness she showed her family, ensuring that each person she encountered felt valued, comforted, and loved.
Laura will be remembered for her beauty (inside & out), radiant smile, her infectious laughter, and the light she brought into every room. Her generous spirit and boundless kindness made all who knew her feel special. She loved fiercely and unconditionally, and that love will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Services for Laura include calling hours held at The Richard H Keenan Funeral Home (Egypt Location) 7501 Pittsford Palmyra Road in Fairport on Thursday February 26th from 4-6 pm. The celebration of life will be held on February 27th at 10am at All Seasons Chapel in Pittsford.

I want to extend my deepest condolences to the family. I had the privilege of growing up with Laura in junior high and high school. She was always 2 lockers down from me and we would always joke with one another. She was always full of joy, and had that amazing smile that would always put everyone around her in such a great mood. Her kindness and strength touched so many people. May you find comfort in knowing how deeply she was loved by everyone.
Glenn and girls, I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the privilege of meeting Laura, she looks like she was the most loving and caring person. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Love from cousin Paula Millis Brooks
My mom was the most caring, loving, kind, most beautiful woman. She had the best laugh and personality. She loved us so much. She gave us the best childhood and always put us before herself. I will raise my daughter with the same love and support she constantly gave us. I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life.

Laura was an answer to pray and dream come true to aleena, Zoe and Annalise. Laura filled a hole in their hearts that only a mother can fill. The time may not have lasted long but it was enough to change their lives. Laura was beautiful and so full of life. Every time I saw her she wore the brightest smile and held words with such intentionality. She will be missed so much
For Laura
Although I never had the chance to meet you, I feel like I know something of your spirit through Brooke. She carries such depth, strength, and kindness and it’s clear those qualities were nurtured by someone truly special.
From everyone I’ve spoken to, your name is always spoken with warmth and admiration. I’ve only ever heard beautiful things. Looking at your photos, there’s a light in you that feels genuine and kind..and that light radiates love and care.
I am so deeply sorry for the pain your family has endured, especially in the way you had to fight so hard and I hope there is peace now where there was suffering, and comfort where there is grief.
For Brooke and Brittany
Your mom’s love is evident in who you are. That is a legacy that can never be taken away.
My deepest condolences to your beautiful, amazing family.

RIP Lulu~
Rest in peace, my beautiful friend, Laura. I still can’t believe you are gone from this earth, but I know we will all be reunited again in Heaven, and you will welcome all of us with your beautiful smile, and your loving arms.
Love you
I met Laura in the classes for the pre-reqs for nursing school. She embraced every challenge with determination and opened her home to our study group. She was so beautiful but seemed to not know it. She was absolutely beautiful inside and out. She talked about her daughters all the time. It was so great to see her post pictures of her family. Rest in peace
She was a beautiful person inside and out. I only met her twice and I feel like I knew her for a long time. Her warmth and kindness extends to her children. What a gem she was and what a loss for everyone that knew her. 💔
You were such a beautiful person inside and out. Although, this is painful, I know that you’re in a better place. Love you Laura. 🩷🩷🩷
Laura, As I consider the subtle bond of cousins, even if not part of each other’s lives. We share ancestry, grandparents, and memories. I cannot be there for your end of life service, I am there in spirit. I feel empathy for all of your loved ones, your daughters and their families. I hope that the love that you had for life, the love that was demonstrated to you by Aunt Mary and Maw Maw will carry on throughout time eternal.
My deepest condolences to Laura’s family. I did not know until today of her passing. She was a great friend from high school and had a infectious laugh. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with her family
