Laura L. (Juskalian) Amato

66, of Cranston, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on the 47th wedding anniversary to her husband David, Tuesday, June 15, 2021. Laura was the daughter of the late Harry H. and Louise A. (Agnoli) Juskalian.

Besides her husband, she leaves behind her Aunt Rosina Lombardi of Smithfield and Aunt Ardele Juskalian of Incline Village, Nevada and her in-laws Deborah (the late Angelo), John (Maryann), Robert (Dolly), and Anne Marie Hickey (Timothy). Laura is survived by many loving nieces and nephews and an abundance of many great friends. She was predeceased by her much loved dog, Jeter.

Laura, affectionately known as “MaMa”, worked as a server at Andino’s Restaurant for 14 years. She loved her job and greeted every table with her beautiful smile, pleasant and witty conversation and fingers crossed that she’d be offered a slice of cake if one was being served.

The Amato family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Andino family and staff, Mary Ruggiero and Andino customers for their generosity in raising funds for Laura’s well being. A special thank you to Maryann Ferri-Amato and Dianne Renzi. In lieu of flowers, if so desired, contributions may be made in Laura’s memory to her favorite rescue, Little Rhody, 31 C Cooper Rd, Glocester, RI 02814.
