Assunta Lauriello, aged 87, passed away on March 20, 2020 at her home in Stamford, Connecticut after a yearlong battle with cancer. Born Assunta Maria Cioffi in 1932 in Cervinara, Italy, she was the youngest child of Pasquale and Giuseppina Cioffi. She was a beloved wife, aunt, mother and grandmother.

She had the pleasure of doting on her ten grandchildren and her memory and recall of the smallest details about them was extraordinary.
