Laura May Trogstad was born May 14, 1925, the sixth of eight children born to Hagbert C. and Gena E. (Texley) Trogstad in South Fork Township of Adams County, ND. She attended eight years of elementary school at South Fork Consolidated School and graduated from Lemmon High School in 1942.

Laura married Robert W. Mosley on December 17, 1944. Three children were born to this union, Roger, Donna, and Vernon. Laura enjoyed being a stay at home mom and assisted with the children's activities which included cub scouts, girl scouts and teaching Sunday School.

In September of 1960 she began record keeping for Greenhill Cemetery in Lemmon, retiring on March 15, 2013 and was honored by the city with "Laura Mosley Day." She was also employed by the Bank of Lemmon and was a bookkeeper for the Ben Franklin Store. In February of 2013, Laura was hospitalized and diagnosed with leukemia. She moved to the Oahe Villa, an independent living apartment, in Gettysburg, SD to be closer to family. She resided there until the time of her death on March 1, 2018.

Laura's interests were many and varied. She was a member of Spencer Memorial Church in Lemmon, a past member of the Eastern Star, and the Guardian of Job's Daughters. She was also a member of the 4-H club, and served on various elected boards for more than 40 years.
She enjoyed crocheting, playing cards and playing dominoes, backyard bird watching, baking and decorating cakes. Bob and Laura both volunteered at Five Counties Nursing Home for several years. She looked forward to lefse making day with her Lemmon neighbors and good friends Bernie and Shirley Gossmann. In her later years, she shared her lefse making techniques with her family.
