Obituary of Laura Lynn Thorough

Laura Thorough, age 68, passed away peacefully at her home on October 31, 2024, after a brief illness from cancer.

Born December 2, 1955 in Mount Holley, NJ, Laura moved to Fort Walton Beach as a young adult and planted deep roots in her community.  She worked as a manager at Waffle House, at Joe & Eddies, The Breakfast Place, and the snack bar at Ocean City Bingo.  She also was very well-known in the pool league circuit, serving as Captain of her team for decades.   

Laura is preceded in death by her parents, John "Len" Conlin and Doris Conlin; older sister, Linda Musselwhite; and beloved son, Allen Helmuth.

She is survived by sisters, Judy Teague and Cheryl Campbell; daughter-in-law, Shannon Helmuth; grandson, Tyler (Lia) Helmuth; granddaughter, Katrina Helmuth; and the apple of her eye, great-granddaughter Marceline Helmuth.  She is also survived by four nieces, several great-nieces and great-nephews, and too many friends to list.  

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, Dec 8, from 2-5 PM at The Moose Lodge, Fort Walton Beach.  We invite you to come and celebrate Laura with us!
