Laura Maucele Nicoll

On Thursday, October 2, 2014, Laura (Laurenzia) Maucele Quartararo Nicoll at the age of 96, was lifted from this earth into the Loving Arms of her Eternal Heavenly Father, where she will remain forever. After graduating from high school, she married Philip Quartararo and had her only child, a son, Philip Quartararo, Jr. She was later divorced, and much later she married Joseph W. Nicoll. She is survived by her son, Dr. Philip Quartararo Jr and his wife, Dorothy; grandchildren, Philip Quartararo III, Sharon Q. Campbell and her husband, Darren, Debbie Q. Michael, and Beth Q. Davis and her husband, Ricky; eight great-grandchildren, Erin and Elena Quartararo, Joshua and Jacob Campbell, Madelyn and Carson Michael, Michael and Megan Davis; and niece, Jeannette Z. Kelly and her husband, Raymond. She was preceded in death by her mother, Nancy Donze Maucele; father, Nicolo Maucele; sister, Anna Mae M. Zeigler; brother, Joseph G. Maucele; nephew, Nicholas A. Maucele; first husband, Philip Quartararo; and second husband, Joseph W. Nicoll. She was a hardworking and very loving and caring person. She did clerical office work for many years, and was an excellent housekeeper while she worked, as well as after she retired. She was a devoted wife and family member. She was an outstanding mother, and as such, she was a strong disciplinarian, while at the same time never leaving any doubt about being loving and caring as well. She loved her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, and she enjoyed visiting with them as often as possible. She was reared in the Catholic Faith, and was a member of Saint Pius X Catholic Church. She spent the last three months of her life as a resident of Amber Terrace Assisted Living Facility, to the staff of which she grew very fondly attached, and to which her son would like to express his deepest gratitude for the outstanding care they provided. If one would like, the family would welcome donations to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association in lieu of flowers. Visitation will be held at Greenoaks Funeral Home 9595 Florida Blvd. Baton Rouge, LA 70815 on Friday, October 10, 2014 from 10 AM until funeral service at 12 PM. Interment will follow in Greenoaks Memorial Park.
