Laura Kay Bitz (Falcon), 54, passed away Thursday, April 6, 2023 at her home in Oriska, ND surrounded by the love and care of her family and Hospice of the Red River Valley.

Laura was born on April 29, 1968 to Wayne and Ruth (Von) Falcon in Great Falls, MT, where she grew up with her brother: Wayne and sisters: Penny, Jodi, Melissa, and Donna. At age 10, Laura and her family moved to Whidbey Island, WA. She later met the love of her life and husband, Terry. Together they had 3 children: Nicholas, Katherine, and Trent.

Laura was a loving and caring mother, wife, and friend to all. Her spitfire personality was sure to leave the biggest impact in every room she entered. Her smile and laughter was contagious and changed the lives of many. She had a fierce passion for her horses, children, family, friends, and living life to the fullest. She loved making a trip to Medora, ND every summer. The beauty of Medora and watching the horses run wild and free matched her spirit perfectly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Zion Lutheran Church in Oriska, ND at 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 29, 2023.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Oliver-Nathan Funeral Chapel, Valley City, ND. An online guestbook is available at www.olivernathanchapel.com
