Laura will be greatly missed by her loving sons and their families, William (Carol) and Thomas (Mary Ellen), cherished grandchildren Tommy (Rudy), Megan, Katie and Billy and her first great grandchild arriving in December; her beloved nieces, Barbara Wade, Beth Loquosto and Nancy Krause LaNunziata and lifelong friend Mrs. Dorothy Moore and her extended family.
