Laura's joy in life came from being a devoted mother and grandmother. She found great happiness in nurturing her family and creating cherished memories with them. Her presence brought comfort and joy to all who knew her.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband; son Wendell Berry, Jr. and wife Holly of Bridgeport; daughter Lindee Hand and husband Mickey of Chico; sister Leah Sutterfield of Mississippi; grandsons Brent Hand and wife Stephanie of Chico, Brian Hand of Chico, Connor Berry of Chico, and Caiden Berry of Dallas; granddaughter Breann Cox and husband Steven of Chico; great-grandchildren Christian, Taryn, Kambree, Camden, Abby, Linden, Austin, Ally, Carly, and Cara; great-great-grandchild Weston; and a host of friends and family.
