Laurie Gaudino/Hailend Obituary
Laurie Gaudino / Hailend 67, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, January 10 at Baptist Memorial Hospital in New Albany Mississippi after a short battle with small cell lung cancer.
Life started off crazy as she was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut during the 1955 flood. She lived most of her life in "the valley" before moving to Mississippi. She graduated Derby high school in 1973. From 1973-1988, she worked as a secretary for F. Hallock Co in Derby. From 1989-2009, she worked as a secretary for Russell Linen service in Shelton. She then worked till she retired at Chaves Bakery in Seymour. Daughter of the late Peter J Burlak and Mildred A Burlak and sister to the late Frank and Nick Sperandeo. Mom loved life - she would tell stories when she was little about her mom's diner called "Millie's Big Dip" which was located in Beacon Falls. She was an avid animal lover, and over the years she probably fostered around a 1,000 cats and dogs. She loved traveling (especially Maine) and dining with her son and husband. She loved light houses and riding on the carousel horses.
Laurie leaves behind her son Ralph Gaudino, of Washington D.C., her beloved husband Joseph John Hailend Jr, of MS and her estranged daughter Amber Anne Gaudino, of MA.
There will be a small get-together in Maine sometime in spring for loved ones to attend to spread her ashes.

I'm grateful for the decades of friendship I've had with Laurie. We've helped each other move countless times, raised our sons together, lived, laughed and cried together. Weddings, funerals, divorces - we did it all! And, so much more......Great times on Cape Cod, whale watching ,and eating lots of lobsters, going to endless tag sales and looking for Carnival Glass and Carousel Horses just to name a few adventures. A great person is I sadly missed. I'm so sorry John. Love, Josie
