Laura was an excellent cook, avid housekeeper, gardener and lover of birds and dogs. While living on Lott street she had a large vegetable and rose garden with Barn Swallow houses on both sides. The swallows rid the garden of most insects and also tried to "rid" Laura by dive bombing her as she worked in the garden. She bought a large straw hat to avoid any "drop out" from the birds. Laura also built a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft wire cage in which she kept six parakeets.
Known as Mom-Mom to her grandchildren, Laura became gravely ill with emphysema. She died on 1-23-1986 in Johnson City, NY and is buried in the Riverhurst Cemetery in Endwell, NY.
