Obituary of Laura Ann Grasso

Laura Ann Grasso, 61, of Vineland, passed away on Monday, August 30, 2021 after an arduous, year-long battle with mantle cell lymphoma. Laura was born in Vineland on September 7, 1959 to the late Frank and Barbara (Cavagnaro) Grasso. She graduated from Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Newfield in 1976. After graduation, she worked at Garden State Florist in Vineland before taking a position as a ward clerk at Newcomb Hospital. She then followed a call to become a member of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany. In 1988, she began a 25-year career at Bank of America where she worked her way up from cashier to risk analyst before retiring in 2013 in Pompano Beach, Florida. In retirement, Laura enjoyed nature and spending time outdoors hiking and gardening, spending quality time with family and friends, and caring for her beloved pets. She will always be known for her sense of humor and quick wit. Laura was a jokester who always brought a smile to the faces of her friends and family, and we will always remember the sound of her laugh. She was predeceased by her parents Frank & Barbara Grasso; her grandparents Anne & George Cavagnaro and Augusta & Alfred Grasso; cousins Sue Grasso-Carione, and Joshua Cavagnaro.
