She is survived by her daughter, Janice (Ron) Peterson and son, Dominic (Minette) Marcelli, her grandchildren, Brian and Stacey Peterson, and several nephews and nieces.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 72 years, Tony Marcelli, parents Corrado and Elisa Pardini, and brothers Aldo and Paul Pardini.
Her Italian cooking was legendary, especially her spaghetti sauce, braciole, homemade meatballs and ravioli, and cioppino.
The family would like to thank Prestige Assisted Living of Visalia for the kindness and excellent care they provided for Laura in her final years.
May she rest in peace and be reunited with her loved ones who passed before her.
A private family graveside service has been held.
