She was an avid Gardner and loved her flower. She loved attending family reunions and holiday gatherings sharing meals, playing card games and making memories.

She was fond of her ‘legendary walks’ with close family members and friends. She treasured spending time with her family, grandchildren and friends.
Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, auntie and friend,
DeLaura’s zest for life was infectious to all those who knew her.
She will be missed and forever cherished.

DeLaura passionately and proudly supported the VFW and in lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to your local VFW.
