Laura Dewing Obituary
Laura A. Dewing was born on October 11th, 1939, to Dr. Norman F. Dewing and Ethel M. Dewing in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Laura gave her life to Christ on May 12th, 1962. In 1966 she felt called to serve at Bethel Revival Center in Boston, MA, which later relocated to Everett, MA. Laura faithfully served as Pastor Dailey’s secretary for over 50 years and remained secretary of Bethel Revival Center until her death. She lived her life devoted to the service of God and others.
Her strength and purpose was found in her relationship with Jesus Christ. Her faith was unwavering, and she unashamedly shared it with everyone she met.
Laura was an inspiration to those who knew her. She was full of kindness, and grace, and always ready to offer prayer or a word of encouragement.
She was preceded in death by her father Dr. Norman F. Dewing, mother Ethel Marigold Stoyles. Two sisters, Carol Dewing and Penny Maltais, and a brother Norman Dewing.
She is survived by a brother, Charles (Joan) Dewing. One cousin, Charlie Stoyle. Three nieces, ten nephews, one great niece, and one great nephew.
Laura will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and devotion.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend a visitation at the JF Ward Funeral Home, 772 Broadway, Everett, on Thursday, January 2nd at 11 am, followed by a funeral in the funeral home at 12 pm. Services will conclude with interment in Lakeside Cemetery in Wakefield.

Faithful to the end!
One of sister Laura’s memory verses that she emphasized often was Luke 9:23 “And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
This is a major part of the fundamental truth of the gospel. Without this truth we will always be blown about by the wind in every direction.
God has given us His Spirit to lead us. A successful life is a yielded life , and one that’s yielded just keeps going forward knowing that there’s always a head wind.
May The good Lord help us all to be faithful to the very end.

Truly a well done faithful servant- the obituary for her is no exaggeration- she was totally committed to her Lord - She could talk forever telling stories of Gods goodness and Love - I will never forget the times we spent together - or her sense of Humor and laugh - I was thinking that she was such an integral part of Bethel Revival Centers ministry that she totally had a part in all the fruit that was harvested- every radio message she wrote out - every printing she produced for print - every testimony she gave - every hour worked at the altars - “rest in the arms of Jesus until we meet again

I met Laura when I was 5. She was a great babysitter, friend and confidant. I will miss our weekly conversations. You may be gone but not forgotten. Enjoy heaven! Job well done! I will see you soon.
