Laura enjoyed everything Irish. One of her most memorable trips was to Ireland with her sister-in-law, Nancy. She was a charter member at St. Luke's, and was very involved in the Mahoning County Gaelic Society. She also loved bingo, and most importantly, spending time with her family.

Laura's husband, Patrick, whom she married on June 6, 1953, died on Oct. 24, 2010.

Laura leaves behind her three children, Paula (John) Worman of Gahanna, James M. (Debbie) of Boardman, and Donald P. (Linda) of Madison; seven grandchildren, Jim (Amanda) Marrie, Missy (Ryan) Knight, Shannon (Sam) Freedy, Rebecca (Anthony) Marrie DeSalvo, Jason Worman, Eric Marrie and Jenny Worman; and many great-grandchildren.

Besides her husband and parents, Laura was preceded in death by her two brothers, Donald and Paul Lewis.

The family will receive friends on Friday, from 5 to 7 p.m. and again on Saturday morning from 9 to 9:15 a.m. at the funeral home.

The family requests that material tributes be donated to Mount Carmel Hospice, 1144 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215.
