Laura worked on the shipping and receiving dock at Kmart until her retirement in 2008. Her family was her whole world, and spending time with them was the highlight of her life. She never missed a family gathering. She also loved her dogs. There was never a time when she didn’t own a dog or several. Laura loved to cook, especially anything with pepperoni and mozzarella. She also enjoyed playing pool and was pretty good at it. Laura was the kindest person you would ever meet and was always there for her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
