Laura Gillis

Laura J. Gillis, 64, of Warsaw, passed away on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at Lutheran Hospital of Fort Wayne. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and an aunt.

Laura was born on July 10, 1960 in Milwaukee, WI to Thomas and Barbara (Gehling) Ludwig. She was united in holy matrimony to Matthew Gillis and they welcomed two loving sons.

She was a faithful member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and worked as the business manager for the church. She was the smiling face that greeted every visitor and parishioner at Sacred Heart for 25 years. An advocate of the poor, and less fortunate, she had a continuously flowing fountain of love and compassion. Laura loved gardening and cooking. Her heart was doing things for her family and those she loved.

Laura will be lovingly remembered by her husband Matthew of Warsaw, children Luke (Kristen) Gillis of Cromwell and Sam (Jennifer Hathaway) Gillis of Warsaw, brothers Michael (Nancy) Ludwig of Indianapolis, John Ludwig of Warsaw, and Robert (Kristin) Ludwig of St. John, and grandchildren Carter Gillis and Cougar Beck.

She was preceded in passing by both parents.

A Mass will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, September 9, 2024 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Jonathan officiating. A visitation will be held 1 hour prior from 10:00 AM until the start of Mass in the church.
