Laura Kay House was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and has lived in Atlanta, GA; Marblehead, MA; Baltimore/Annapolis, MD and now is happy to call the Triangle area of North Carolina home.  

 Ms. House has an undergraduate degree in Social Work and a Master’s degree in Gerontology. Her expertise is in working with the biology and psychology of aging,  grief and loss, the positive benefits of socializing on physical and mental health and reinventing ones life after 55.  Laura Kay’s experience is also as a bereavement specialist, working as a lifestyle facilitator in real estate for exclusively those age 50+, in event planning and was also a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines. 

Laura Kay House founded Silver Connections, after fulfilling a continued lifelong passion of working with individuals age 55+. After many years of research and planning, Ms. House concluded that there were limited opportunities available for those 55 and over, who were young and active, to meet others who were also single after the death of a spouse, divorce or never married.  Laura Kay wanted to provide quality events and travel as opportunities to meet others of the same age, with similar experiences, in a safe and pressure-free environment that was not  a dating service.  She took her vision, past experience and education and began Silver Connections as a full time business. Numerous socializing opportunities are provided for members through local events and travel while stressing personal service and a sense of community within membership.  

Silver Connections is truly unique as there is no other business currently operating that is similar to what it offers for its members. It was started by Ms. House from ”the ground up” and is now a thriving, established organization dedicated to promoting connections for those “55 and better” adults.

Laura Kay is a member of HART (Health Affairs Round Table), the A.W.A.R.E group of Wake County, a volunteer and meal organizer working with The Ronald McDonald House and The Caring House, as well as involved in many other organizations. She was awarded the Womens Etc.! Award in 2009 as a community entrepreneur and was a distinguished "Potter's Hand Senior Advocacy Award" honoree in 2011 for her work with Silver Connections.
