She was born in South Barre, MA on March 13, 1924, daughter of the late Anthony and Lucia (Panaccione) Ingemi. Laura was raised in North Brookfield, MA, attended St. Joseph’s Grammar School and graduated from North Brookfield High School. She was a proud member of the Daughters of Isabella. Laura was an Executive Secretary at Warren Pumps in Warren, MA for 20 years, before leaving to take on her calling to raise her sons.
Laura was a faithful communicant of Holy Family Church since its founding in 1966. She served or participated in Holy Family Women’s Guild, Rosary Guild, Legion of Mary, and St. Vincent de Paul Society. Laura was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, godmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.
