Notes:

Laura A. Mascaro, 89, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on October 28, 2022 at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Amherst, NY. Born in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late Gino and Ida (Bindi) Parenti.
Laura was a graduate of Niagara Falls High School. On April 16, 1955, she married the love of her life, Peter Mascaro, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. Mr. Mascaro predeceased her on June 19, 2019 after 64 years of marriage.
Laura began her working career as a lab secretary at the Hooker Chemical Company, and later as a medical secretary for a Buffalo neurologist, Dr. Zoar. Most importantly the job she enjoyed was providing the hospitality for her husband's family business, Peter Mascaro Construction, where many of his clients became lifelong friends.  For over twenty-five years Peter and Laura wintered in Fort Myers Beach, FL. They were active members of the Estero Cove Condominium community where they developed lasting friendships.  As Laura endured health challenges, she always remained upbeat and positive. Her numerous friends and family provided a steady stream of joy, laughter and comfort to her.
Laura was a shining light to her children, grandchildren and great children. She cherished her time with each of them. She was a deeply faithful person who would often offer up her daily rosary for anyone in need. A special thank you to Tony Restaino who provided eucharistic ministry and his Sunday morning visits.
Laura is survived by her daughters, Julie (John) Polka, Eda (James) Buzzelli, Franca (Frank) Romeo, and Gina Mascaro-Lore; her grandchildren, John (Adrienne Muia) Polka, Laura (Dr. Tim) Lukasik, Angela Lore, Stefania Romeo, Domenic (Dr. Mia) Romeo, Gino (Nadeen) Buzzelli, Dr. Peter Lore, and Gabriella Buzzelli; great-grandchildren Nicolas & Francesca Polka, and Alexa & Ariana Lukasik; her brother-in-law, Aldo (Pauline) Mascaro, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her brother Jerry (late Mary) Parenti, and her brother-in-law Anthony (late Clara) Mascaro.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to her caregivers who became family to her. They shared their lives and experiences as they took care of her, played cards and watched her favorite movies. We will be forever grateful to: Sharon, Tenisha, Queene, Taraneh, Maryann, Michele and Lexi, for the care and compassion shown to Laura and their family.
