PORTLAND - Laura B. Macomber, 92, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2024, at Seaside Nursing Home, in Portland. She was a former resident of the Prides Corner and Highland Lake areas of Westbrook for many years. She was born on July 15, 1931 in Westbrook, the daughter of the late Arthur E. and Florence (Turner) Andrews. She was married to Harold W. Macomber for 62 years until his passing in August of 2012. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by two sisters, Louise Brown and Mildred Haycock and a brother, Richard Andrews. She is survived by her daughter, Debra Ivers and her husband Peter of Westbrook who remained vigilant by her side. Laura found a sense of community at Seaside, forming close bonds with her friends in the "Fishtank Gang," especially her roommate and the staff who cared for her. She loved to participate in activities, her favorite being Bingo. She was extremely personable and was loved by most everyone she met. She had an infectious personality and was never one to pass up a caramel frappe if someone happened to bring one to her.

She was also an honorary member of the Order of the Eastern Star. She greatly enjoyed traveling with her sister Millie on Grange trips and traveling with her daughter to many Granges around the State. Monthly trips to Danville Jct. Grange for Bingo and trips to Foxwoods and Oxford Casinos were some of her favorite activities. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Seaside Healthcare for the love, care and community they provided for Laura. They would also like to express their gratitude to Compassus Hospice Care for the care and visits with Laura. She greatly appreciated it!
