Aunt Laura was born in Eastview, Ontario in 1924. She resided there in the home built by her father and brothers when she was 5 years old until she moved to a retirement home when she was 85 years young. She worked in the government for 35 years, along with caring for her aging parents. She was a baker, a cook and a knitter. We all remember looking for money in our amazing “Aunt Laura” birthday cakes and many of us were lucky enough to receive one of her phenomenal wedding cakes too!
Aunt Laura was an angel on earth, who was always there to help, to listen, to console or to laugh with; whether family, friend or stranger.
Special thanks to John Yazbeck for his kindness.
Our families would like to thank the staff of Prince of Wales Manor and Starwood Nursing Home for the excellent care given to Aunt Laura.
