Laura was an amazing Nonna, always eager to help and not a birthday forgotten, or your favourite meal made. Laura treasured all her grandchildren and great grandchildren and always looked forward to their visits. Missing her dearly already are Sherri Pula (Andrew) , Kristy Allen (Neil), Gary Cocchetto (Julie), Marci Yeoman (Jerome), Michael Way, Joe Dukes( Heather), Amanda Aspden (Paul), David Dukes (Meagan), Melissa Orchard (Shaun), Jeremy Cocchetto (Eileigh), Nicholas Cocchetto , Amber Pula, Evan Pula, Marshal Pula, Brennan Yeoman, Drew Allen, Petra Pula, Cole Yeoman, Rebecca Cocchetto, Brooke Allen, Joseph Cocchetto, Sophia Aspden, Dylan Dukes, Alex Aspden, Evelyn Dukes, Tenley Cocchetto, Adrianna Cocchetto , Aurora Cocchetto, and Cade Orchard.
Also left to mourn, Laura leaves behind many nieces and nephews here in Canada and back home in Italy.
Laura was born June 8th, 1926 in Casier, Italy. She made the long voyage by boat to Canada in 1955 with her two young children by her side to join the love of her life Giordano who had come ahead to set up a new life for them in Canada. Laura spent the next 69 years living in Ingersoll and surrounding area. Laura loved her family dearly. She was an amazing mother, kind, generous, caring, affectionate, feisty till the end woman. Laura was a fabulous cook, and no one went hungry when she was around. Laura enjoyed the simple things in life, she loved to sit outside and enjoy the sun, fresh air, the flowers and watch the birds.
Mama - Nonna …. You lived a great life, we know how you so badly wanted to make it to celebrate your 100th birthday, you came close, you overcame a lot of health issues this past year, but until then you were the Mama and Nonna full of spunk until then end that we will remember and always have in our hearts.
Special thanks to Dr. Woghlmut, Dr. Collins, nurses Tanya, Jen, Lisa and all the staff on third floor Alexandria Hospital. Your amazing care and compassion helped Laura and all of us during this difficult time. So very much appreciated, we cannot thank you enough. Also thank you to the PSW’s who helped Mama this past year so she could remain at home.
Friends will be received at the McBeath-Dynes Funeral Home 246 Thames Street South, Ingersoll on Monday from 6-8 pm. The funeral service will be held in the chapel on Tuesday April 30, 2024 at 11:30am with interment to follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
