May 23, 1956 - March 18, 2022

OBITUARY – Laura Parisella Scott, 65, entered peacefully into eternal rest on Friday, March 18, 2022, at home, surrounded by her loving family. Laura was born in Sharon, CT on May 23, 1956, a daughter of the late Louis and Lois Rolleston Parisella. As a young girl, Laura worked with her grandparents at their greenhouse and floral shop in Millbrook. Laura recalls fond memories of traveling to New York City, with her grandmother, early in the morning, to purchase flowers for the shop; it was from her grandfather Vincenzo that she inherited her magic touch to grow anything in a pot or in the ground. It was the beginning of her long career and passion for floral design. Laura was a talented floral designer with local florists and most recently the greenhouse manager with Robinson Ace Hardware & Garden Center in Slingerlands. Laura was a kind, energetic, and loving woman, she treasured her family, the times spent with them, and the love they shared. She was predeceased by her brother, James ‘Jimmy’ Parisella. Laura is survived by her sons, Patrick Scott and Devin Scott, siblings, Anne Parisella, John Parisella, and Michael Parisella; her best friend and former husband Brian Scott. Relatives and friends are invited and may call at the Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home, 501 Union Street this Saturday, March 26th from 3 to 6. Flowers would gladly be received or if you wish Memorial contributions may be made to Mohawk Hudson Humane Society at mohawkhumane.org
