Laura Jennings

Laura Jean Cameron Jennings was born August 3, 1929, in Long Beach, California, to Barbara Jean and Herbert Cameron. She married Emmit M. Jennings, "that handsome doctor she was not going to fall for," on September 23, 1950, in Los Angeles. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother and sister-in-law, and her loving husband of 50 years.

Over the course of the next ten (10) years, they had seven children, Kathy, Mike (Molly), Pat (Kathy), Teresa, Peggy (David), Colleen (Chuck), and Maureen (Ted). Over the decades, she stayed quite busy and active with family activities, as well as keeping up with church and community activities. With seven kiddos, Laura's time was full as a housewife and mother- and a very good one, at that! Her legacy is large, producing 13 grandkids and 17 great grandkids. As well as several pups, grandpups, and great grandpups. She loved us all and she loved to say that "She had a great bunch of coconuts!"
