She passed from this world, in the loving arms of her parents on September 10, 2021 at 8PM, in St. Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, after an extended illness. She will be greatly missed. She was anointed by a priest before her passing and received the sacrament of the sick.

As a teenager Laura loved her horses and participated in 4H. She enjoyed spending time outdoors and hiking. Laura’s favorite past time was reading. Laura excelled at academics and in Jr high, received an award for participating in a volunteer program to tutor struggling younger students. Laura was a Girl Scout and as a teen, worked as a program aide at summer camps. She graduated from Mohawk High School in 2002. She graduated from Sanford Brown College in Cleveland in 2011 from their Cardiac Technology Program. Laura was employed by Salem Hospital as a Cardiac Sonographer. Her co-workers describe her as being hard-working, kind, and caring. Despite that Laura endured life-long, serious health problems, she was always smiling and laughing about something.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Ross and Marjorie Paswell, and her maternal great-grandmother, Cora Carothers.
