Josephine Laurenzo, 95, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026. She was born on November
17, 1930, in New York City and lived a life centered on faith, family, and devotion to those she loved.
Josephine was the beloved wife of the late Fred Laurenzo, with whom she shared an extraordinary 71 years of marriage until his passing in 2023. Together they built a loving family and a home filled with warmth, tradition, and strong values.
She was a devoted mother to her six children: Richard Laurenzo and his wife Violet, Fred Laurenzo and his wife Therese, Steve Laurenzo and his wife Patricia, Carolyn Laurenzo-Liotta, Bob Laurenzo and his wife Lee Ann, and Patti Laurenzo-Svorinic and her husband Peter. Josephine was also a proud grandmother to 13 grandchildren and great-grandmother to 11 great- grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy.
Josephine raised her family in New Jersey, where she created a home that served as the center of countless family gatherings and memories. In 2019, she relocated to Texas.
She will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, and caring homemaker who poured her heart into her family. Josephine was an exceptional cook, known especially for her beloved Christmas cookies & crumb cake which became a family favorite, and her competitive game playing skills. She was also a talented seamstress, an avid reader, and a woman of deep faith who was actively involved in her church community as both a volunteer and choir member.
Josephine\u2019s life was defined by her kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her family and faith. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue through the generations of her family.
She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
