February 3, 1955 — January 29, 2021
Barbara A. (McGuire) Laing was torn from her family, loved ones, and this life in the wee hours of Jan. 29 by the consequential damage done by the murderous COVID-19 virus.

Barb survived the virus while on the ventilator for four weeks, but the damage to her body was done.
