Laura Nell Kiff, 74, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 16, 2019, at Gracemore Nursing Home in Brunswick, Georgia.
Laura was born on January 26, 1945, in Brunswick to William Paul and Fannie Mae Buchanan. She grew up in Darien with her family including her older sister Janice Andrews. She attended and graduated from Darien High school in i963. She later worked and retired from the Sea Island Company after many years of service.
Laura met Johnny Lambert Kiff of Brunswick and was married for 26 years. Together they raised two children Nancy Ann Blalock {George) and Jonathan Paul Kiff (Adrien). Laura was blessed with her two grandchildren Steven McKenzie and Maclaine Kiff. She also treasured her role as an aunt to two nieces, who she adored, Laura Townsend and Melonie Andrews.
Her life was truly a living example of someone who never met a stranger. She was known to make friends wherever she would go and be able to carry conversations with anyone on any topic. She loved animals and had many pets throughout the years. In her spare time, she enjoyed sewing, especially crocheting beautiful afghans which she often would give as gifts on various occasions. Her hands were never still, when not crocheting, she was completing word puzzles or holding a phone.
