Laura Francalangia Obituary
April 24, 1971 ~ March 14, 2015
Our lovely Laura died unexpect-edly on March, 14, 2015. Laura was born in West Seattle on April 24, 1971, the youngest of eight children, where she learned to play the piano along with the flute and bagpipes. She grew up in Shoreline, North Seattle and graduated from Shorecrest High School. Laura's instrument of choice, particularly in her adult years, was the piano. She would practice on her mini grand in the living room of their Kirkland home for her husband, Corey.
On June 18, 1997, Laura and Erik Anderson, husband at the time, gave birth to daughter, Mia. In 2001, she was raising Mia and living in Mill Creek when she met her current husband Corey, while working together at Bellevue BMW. They fell in love, and traveled together to Mexico where Corey proposed on the beach of Cabo San Lucas. They enjoyed their engagement until marrying at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC with close family in assembly.
Family and holiday gatherings were a joy; Laura was an excellent cook and event hostess. She gracefully blended two families and various personalities. Laura was also an artist. Her home is filled with her artwork, her cooking and her music; some talents that she shared with Mia. Laura was a beautiful and thoughtful wife, and a loving mother to her daughter Mia, her greatest pride.
Laura is survived by daughter Mia, husband Corey, mother Lavina, sisters Holly and Crystal, brothers James, Robert, Richard and David and many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces and Nephews.
Celebration of Life service will be held on Thursday, March 19th, 2015 at 12:00pm at Evergreen Washelli Tribute Center with reception to follow at Evergreen Washelli Celebration Hall and final committal at 3:00pm at Evergreen Memorial Park. Address: 11111 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98133.

As her next door neighbor, I think of Laura whenever I look out the window and see her beautiful home that she shared with Corey. Spring reminds me of Laura, especially purple tulips. I miss your beautiful smile and waving to you as you passed by in your white convertible with the top down, blonde hair blowing in the wind. RIP my friend!

Such a beautiful person with a kind, warm, gracious heart and a talented artist. She would become so excited talking about music/piano or attending a concert at B . Hall.. But that was nothing compared to joy when she spoke of Mia, her wonderful daughter she was so proud of and will always love so.... I remember how her smile lit up the room when she spoke of little Mia.
So very sorry for your family's loss. She is missed by her friends from West Seattle in the early 2000's, the Story family.

Mike and I have lost a lovely next door neighbor. Laura was a beautiful person inside and out. I loved gardening while listening to her play the piano. We enjoyed laughing together about our dogs. She lit up whenever she talked about Mia...what a proud Mom!

One of my fondest memories of Laura was a night I hung out with her and Mia when they lived in Bothell. Mia was only about 4 then. We laughed so hard our stomachs hurt. Laura was beautiful inside and out. I will miss you my friend. ....
