She graduated high school in 1951 from Roosevelt High School in Atlanta, Georgia. Laura met and married Jessie Langston and together they lived happily ever after until his passing.

Mam Maw, as she was affectionately known by her grandchildren, was an amazing caregiver and an extremely loving grandmother. She had the prettiest smile anyone could imagine. She loved to dance and was humorous in her own right. If you ever met her, you would never forget her. She loved everyone and never met a stranger or had an enemy. Laura saw the good in everyone that she met and loved. She was loved by many. Her favorite song to sing to her children was "You Are My Sunshine." She always stood by her children and grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Allen Clark and Annie Beatrice Allen Clark; husband, Jessie B. Langston; son, James David Shaw; brothers, Neely C. Raines and Clyde Raines; and sisters,Ollie Raines Blankenship and Lois Raines Turner.
