Laura Minnie Marie Noeldner was born on December 2, 1926 in the Town of Loyal, rural Greenwood, the daughter of Ernst and Margaret (Haessig) Noeldner. She was raised on the family farm, received her education at Seidelman School, and graduated from Loyal High School in 1944. Laura worked as a beautician for her sister, Emma, at Emma's Beauty Shop in Loyal. She was united in marriage to Verland R. Dux on November 24, 1945 at Trinity Lutheran Church, in Loyal. They started out farming by renting a farm south of Loyal until they purchased a farm west of Loyal, on Highway 98, in November of 1951. In 1977, they moved back to Verland's home farm, south of Loyal. After retiring, they traveled to visit family and took trips to Germany and Alaska. In August 2008, they moved to Marshfield to live with their daughter, Kathy. Laura moved to Golden Living Center, in Abbotsford, in February 2010, where she resided until her death.

She had many interests, but especially loved her church, spending time with family and friends, singing/directing, square dancing, gardening, flowers, sewing and quilting.

She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, where she was a Sunday School teacher, directed the choir, and was active in adult fellowship and the T.L.C.W. Laura was also a former member of the Circle 8 Square Dancing Club, the Clark County Homemakers, and sang with the Clark County Choraliers for many years.

Laura is survived by her children: Judy (Rich) Meyer of Unity, Jim Dux of Loyal, Ken (Eileen) Dux of Menomonee Falls, Kathy (Steve) Jasurda of Marshfield, Ron Dux of Loyal, Rick (Dina) Dux of Hurst, TX, Cheri (John) Merlene of Highland Village, TX; 20 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Verland, on January 14, 2010; 2 granddaughters: Vicky and Becky Meyer; 3 sisters: Meta McCann, Emma Rottjer and Martha Dux; and 4 brothers: Norbert, Erwin, Herman and Leonard Noeldner.
