Laura's greatest legacy, however, lies in her kindness and the deep love she gave to those closest to her. She was an unshakable support to her family, offering a listening ear and an unwavering sense of loyalty. Her friends spoke of her with deep affection and admiration, recalling how her laughter filled rooms with joy, and her thoughtful gestures made every person feel special.

Laura’s passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the love she gave will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She is survived by her husband, John Bentley; daughter -Ryleigh (Jacob) Lewis, son -Jackson Bentley, and daughter - Drea Bentley; mother – Monica Dodes; step-father – Melvin Powell; her brother Josh Dodes; step-brother – Perry Powell; niece Skyler Krueger; and nephew Owen Dodes; and a host of dear friends and family whose lives she touched in profound ways.

A celebration of Laura’s life will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Simplicity 7475 Peppermill Parkway Suite E, North Charleston.

Though Laura has left this world, her spirit endures in the beauty she created, the love she shared, and the memories she left behind.
