Laura F. Milsovic

Hampton -- Laura F. Milsovic died peacefully early Thursday morning at her home where she has resided for the past 20 years with her family. She was 92 years old and had lived a vibrant and exciting life, full of love, family, laughter, good times and tough times, and she had a smile and inner strength that she shared through it all. A daughter of the late Charles and Anna Mae (Barr) Frederick, she was born October 1, 1920 in Pittsburgh. She had three brothers and five sisters, and as one of the youngest she learned quickly how to stand up for herself. She met her husband, Robert J. Milsovic, as a young woman, and they were married for over 55 years. They had a son, Robert, and daughter, Virginia, and were partners in business as well as life. Together they owned and operated trucking company Bob’s Local Express in Pittsburgh. When they retired, they started spending more of their time in Florida. In 1992 they moved to Hampton to be with their daughter full time until Robert’s passing. Laura remained in Hampton with Ginny and her husband Tom. Aside from being a savvy businesswoman, she had many hobbies, which she shared generously. She loved to read, and her enthusiasm created a family of readers through to her great grandchildren. She was an extremely talented seamstress and knitter, and she used those talents to create beautiful clothes and decorations for her family, and to make gifts to local organizations she supported. She was very involved with the Hampton Lions Club, the Catholic Women’s Club of the OLMM parish, and the Senior Citizens of Hampton. Laura’s other great passion in life was family. She kept everyone connected, no matter how near or far. She told stories, shared memories, and kept relationships alive across a very large group of people spread all over the country and world. Laura’s immediate family of son Robert Milsovic and daughter-in-law Joan, Ginny Bridge and son-in-law Tom, will miss her very much, but so will those who loved her, who are beyond number. She had seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren whom she adored. The family is grateful for the care and assistance Laura received from Rockingham Hospice and the visits from Sisters Doris and Theresa from The OLMM Parish Outreach program. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the OLMM Outreach program or to the St. Vincent de Paul Society at OLMM, 289 Lafayette Rd., Hampton, NH 03842. Calling hours were held February 25, 2013 in the Remick & Gendron Funeral Home – Crematory, 811 Lafayette Rd., Hampton. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated February 26, 2013 at Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Parish, 289 Lafayette Rd., Hampton. Interment was in the High Street Cemetery, Hampton.
