Laura Marie Better

Laura Marie Better (née Bishop), 82, of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on November 11, 2026. Born September 6, 1944, in Manhattan, Kansas, to Everett and Bernice Bishop.

Laura was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 54 years, Michael Better. She was he devoted mother of Anthony Better and Tammy Prusak (John), proud grandmother of Austin Prusak (Kate), and Rylee Stringfellow (Alex) and cherished great-grandmother of Lilly and Charlie Stringfellow. She also leaves behind loving nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.

Laura graced us with natural elegance and a wonderful love of life. Always beautifully dressed and carrying herself with class, she enjoyed socializing, dancing, sharing laughter, and spending time with family and friends. Her warm personality and lively spirit made her a joy to be around. She holds a special place in her heart for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Laura enjoyed a successful career in advertising as a broadcast manager, working closely with on-air talent and their agents. After retirement Laura spent her time caring for others and volunteering at Franklin Square Hospital Gift Shop.

The family is grateful for the loving care she received from all of her caregivers and particularly the care from Accent Hospice at Franklin Square Hospital.
