Laura Langord

Laura Langord, 56, of Northborough, MA died peacefully in her sleep at her home on Friday May 30, 2025.
Born on November 11, 1968, she was the oldest daughter of Allen and Judy (Skelton) Langord. She grew up in Southborough, MA, before moving to Northborough, MA. Laura attended Mount Holyoke College and went on to work at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as a facilitator and research assistant. She held several other jobs before attending and completing law school at Western New England College to become an attorney. She most recently worked her dream job as a contract attorney for Nucor Rebar Fabrication, where she made the position her own, learned a completely new-to-her industry and enjoyed the opportunity to travel for work.
Laura served her community with her many musical talents: she was a very gifted singer, played piano, and performed in a hand bell choir. Laura spent many years volunteering with Best Buddies, an organization that supports individuals with intellectual disabilities. Laura's greatest talent was her ability to advocate for and support her loved ones and others in need, including people with disabilities and the elderly. Above all, her life's passion was being a dedicated and loving mother to her two daughters, Clara and Faith, who she loved more than anything else in her life.
She is predeceased by her father Allen Langord. She is survived by her mother, Judy Langord; her husband Bob Yellick of Northborough, MA; her daughters, Clara Anderson and Faith Yellick; her siblings, Brendan (Kristin) Langord of Worcester, MA, Jillian (David) King of Springfield, VA, and Christian Langord (Erica Davis) of Phippsburg, ME; her nieces and nephews, Chelsea, Dylan and Dominic Langord of Worcester, MA, Shane and Jolen King of Springfield, VA, and Soren and Bjorn Langord of Phippsburg, ME; her aunts, Letitia Langord, Heidi Day and Susie Wilson, and their families; her uncle, Clifford Skelton; and her dearest friend, Catherine Cushman of Northborough, MA.
