Laura Rose Penn Vick was granted her angel wings Sunday, July 4,

Laura was born March 1, 1952 to the late Clarence Penn Sr. and Juanita Oden

school. She was a member of the Northlake First Assembly of God under the 
leadership of the Rev. Jonathan Ziegler. She later united with Victory Bible 
Church under the leadership of the Rev. Fredrick Young Sr. She attended church 
faithfully until her illness.

Laura graduated from Covington High School in 1971. She was employed by St. 
Tammany Parish Hospital as a nurse's aide.

She was united in marriage to the late Gary Emmanuel Vick Jr., and to this union 
two children were born, Cassandra Stokes and Rodney Vick.

She was preceded in death by an infant son; her father; three brothers, Clarence 
Jr., her twin brother, Larry, James; and one sister, Ruby Mae.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her two children; two grandchildren, Hannah 
and Floyd Stokes Jr.; her loving mother; seven brothers, Johnny Lee, Willester, 
Robert (Beaulah), Bernard (Melodie), Earl, Melvin (Glenis) and Carey (Keisha);
