Laura loved to always look her best and was known for her classy style of fashion. She and her husband loved to dance and they were good at it. They also enjoyed travel throughout the states and internationally whenever they could.
Laura is survived by her husband Mike and her six children; Silvia, Norma (Steve), Irma (Raul), Sandy, Mike (Analivia), and Mark (Claudia). Fourteen grandchildren survive her.
