In Memory of Laura: Support for Corey and Kids

We are heartbroken to share the sudden passing of Laura Grafe at just 39 years old. She leaves behind her loving husband, Corey, two beautiful children, Connor and Liam, parents, Cecile and John, and sisters, Nancy and Carey—along with a wide circle of family and friends who loved her deeply.

Laura was the youngest of three sisters and brought joy, laughter, and light into every room she entered. She had a sharp sense of humor, loved music, sports, reading, and, most of all—being with the people she loved. Her close-knit family meant everything to her. Summers were always filled with vacations, family, and unforgettable memories.

Laura graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven High School, went on to study at the University of Maryland, and later earned her doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania. She built a meaningful career as a neuroscientist at the University of Penn and, most recently, at Bryn Mawr, where her intelligence and kindness left a lasting mark.

This fund has been created to support Corey in the wake of this unimaginable loss. Donations will help with memorial expenses and provide Corey with some breathing room as he navigates life without Laura by his side.

Thank you for helping honor Laura’s memory and surrounding Corey with love and support during this incredibly difficult time.
