Laura grew up in Calumet City, IL and graduated from TF-North High School, class of 1979.  She worked for Wrigley Gum for the last 28+ years, and it was there in 2000 where she met her soulmate and husband, John McCann. Laura and John relocated in 2006 to Flowery Branch, GA where they were able to continue working at Wrigley Gum.  She enjoyed their southern life, along with spending time on their houseboat/pontoon with all their friends at Holiday Marina and floating around Lake Lanier with a cooler of ice cold Landshark beers and Jimmy Buffet tunes blaring.

Laura was loving, funny, kindhearted, hardworking and always up for a good time.  Her smile and laugh lit up any room she entered.   She will be missed dearly by all her family and friends.
