Bry's activism, efforts will be greatly missed

I was shocked and saddened to hear that recently one of Sandpoint’s brightest stars, Laura Bry, had suddenly passed away. This came as a harsh blow to her family and friends — even friends all the way across the country — since she’d touched and improved so many lives of those around her.

Laura was a staunch defender of human rights and was never afraid to stand up and do what she thought was best to make life better for everyone in northern Idaho. If there was an injustice or an unfairness, Laura was sure to step up and do her best to help make it right, even if it meant personal hardship for herself.
