NEWPORT – Laura Fiesinger, age 59, a longtime Newport resident, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, February 6, 2022, in the privacy and comfort of her home. Born on June 1, 1962, in Syracuse, NY, Laura was the daughter of the late Edward H. and Emma (Pettit) Fiesinger. She loved going on camping trips, spending all night awake under the stars and by the campfire. She also enjoyed fishing and bowling. She could often be found dancing and singing, especially to her all-time favorite, Billy Ray Cyrus. Laura was a loving soul whose vibrancy was contagious to those around her. She would often approach strangers with a hug, telling others “there’s my friend” as she did so. Her spark and zest for life was inspirational to her family and friends and this is how she’ll be remembered. She was predeceased by her older brothers, Edward, Robert & Charles.
