Laura Louise Cooney

Laura Louise (Grumbo) Cooney of Sandy Hook passed away peacefully on October 27, 2020 at age 47, despite a valiant fight against ovarian cancer, driven by a mother’s love of her three children and the desperate desire to finish raising them. Laura was born in Danbury Hospital on September 2, 1973 to William and Constance (Lucsky) Grumbo. She attended New Fairfield, CT public schools and was a graduate of Western Connecticut State University. She was gifted with a genuinely curious mind and loved to read. She had many interests, ranging from astronomy and physics to history and humor. Those who knew her will always remember her for her sharp wit and exuberant genuine laugh that stood out in any room and brought joy and warmth to all around her. Most of all, Laura was a devoted mother whose top priority was making sure her three children were challenged, active and safe. Beside her loving husband, Patrick, Laura is survived her children PJ, Grace, and Liam of Newtown, CT, parents Richard and Constance Piskura of New Fairfield CT, sister Shelly Grumbo and her husband Frank Poliseno of Aberdeen, NJ and her brother Michael Lucsky and wife Nancy of Chapin, SC and several nieces and nephews.
