Labria Fogle

Labria Fogle was an infant whose presence brought joy and promise to her family. Born in 2006 and only nine months old when she died on December 12, 2006, Labria was known in public records and local reports as the young daughter of Lisa Laverne Brown. Though her life was very short, the fact of her family ties is clear in contemporary accounts that name her father and grieving relatives who attended services to remember both mother and child.

Public coverage from the time emphasizes Labria’s role within her family — a tiny child who shared ordinary routines with those who cared for her: feeding, naps, and the small comforts of an infant’s days. At nine months, she would have been learning about the world through touch, sound, and the closeness of family. Those simple, universal moments are the best-known aspects of Labria’s life in the public record, and they are worthy of being recalled with tenderness.

News reports from December 2006 identify Laurel, Maryland, as the community where Labria lived with her mother. Friends, neighbors, and family who gathered afterward remembered the young mother’s care for her daughter; public notices record relatives attending memorial services for both Lisa Brown and her daughter. Those remembrances underline that Labria was not an anonymous statistic but a real child whose loss was felt deeply by family and community.

Because no family-authored obituary or funeral-home notice matching Labria’s full name and the exact date of death was found in searches of newspaper and public-obituary archives, this remembrance emphasizes the human facts that reliable sources do provide: Labria’s name, her age, her relationship as daughter to Lisa Laverne Brown, and the love that surrounded her in life. Though public documents are limited, Labria’s life mattered to those who held her, and the memory of her brief presence endures in the people who named and mourned her.
