Laura Di Maria McInnis
Age 94, passed peacefully on Saturday, May 23, 2020. When Laura received her call to go home to God, she was surrounded by loving family.
Laura was born on November 20, 1925 in Gaeta, Italy to Giuseppina Carrillo and Diego Di Maria. She was the loving wife of Donald McInnis, who, after 52 years of marriage, predeceased her in 1997.
Laura’s childhood was spent in Gaeta, Italy. She met her husband, Don, in Maddaloni, Italy towards the end of World War II and after serving in and escaping from a war camp. She and Don married in Maddaloni on June 22, 1945 and had their first son, Gary. Shortly after Gary’s birth in 1946, Laura and Gary came to the United States aboard the naval ship Thomas Barry while Don finished out his tour of duty in Italy.
Laura’s 94 years are to be celebrated. Although, she came close to death during war times in Italy, Laura used those experiences to live and appreciate life. Laura loved on many and loved to give. She placed an incredible importance on family and Faith. Fashion was also a passion and part of her charismatic personality. Laura’s will was strong but her will to love was stronger. In return, she was loved and adored by many.
In addition to her husband Don, Laura was predeceased by two sons, Larry McInnis and Father Gary McInnis and granddaughter Marcy Mitchum. She is survived by sons Donald and Patrick and daughter Susan, along with daughters-in-law Mira McInnis and Julie LeBlanc McInnis and son-in-law Bill Kavanagh. Laura has one living sibling, Anna Maria. Laura is also survived by loving grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, including the Bonardelli, Phelps, Di Maria families, and many friends and neighbors who she considered family.
In lieu of flowers and/or donations, the family asks that you pass kindness forward, in tribute to and memory of Laura, to someone in need and could use a helping hand in these challenging times.
