Laura was born December 31, 1927, in Driggs, Idaho to Robert and Mary Eliza Mackley. She grew up in the Driggs area with four sisters Roberta, Genevie, Mable, Carrie and one brother, David Mackley. She attended Teton High School, graduating in May of 1946. She attended Ricks Academy in 1947 and majored in Home Economics. At the young age of six, she met her eternal companion, Hart L. Grover.

She was an active member of the LDS church serving in many capacities including, camp director, cub scouts, and various church callings. Her last calling was door greeter which Hart and Laura enjoyed together. They enjoyed camping, fishing but most of all; time spent with her loved ones. She was patient, loyal, and compassionate and a person in which we all strive to be. She spent her days busy growing plants and her garden; it could be said she could grow anything in any climate.
