It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the sudden and devastating loss of Laura Grafe of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who passed away at just 39 years old. Her passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved her. Laura was so much more than a wife, mother, daughter, and friend—she was a radiant light in every life she touched.
Laura is survived by her devoted husband, Corey, and their two beautiful children, Connor and Liam, who were the absolute center of her world. Her love for her family was fierce and unwavering—she poured her heart into creating a warm and joyful home, full of laughter, learning, and love. Whether she was cheering from the sidelines, volunteering at school, or planning a family adventure, Laura approached motherhood with grace, intention, and endless compassion.
To know Laura was to know a woman of remarkable spirit. She had the rare ability to bring joy into any space she entered. Her quick wit and infectious laughter made her the life of the party, while her wisdom and empathy made her the heart of any conversation. Laura’s presence was calming, her kindness deep, and her friendships genuine and lasting. She had a gift for making people feel seen, heard, and valued—and that gift has left an indelible mark on her community.
Professionally and personally, Laura was known for her intelligence, resilience, and warmth. She was the kind of person who remembered birthdays, showed up in times of need, and always knew the right words to say. Her relationships were built on trust, mutual respect, and love, and the outpouring of grief from those who knew her speaks volumes to the kind of person she was.
In this time of immense sorrow, a fundraiser has been established to support Corey as he navigates this unimaginable chapter, and to honor Laura’s beautiful legacy. The funds raised will help ease the financial burdens the family now faces and ensure that Laura’s memory continues to shine brightly in the lives of Connor and Liam.
Laura’s loss is deeply felt by her extended family, dear friends, neighbors, and the broader Philadelphia community. As we grieve together, we also celebrate the incredible life she lived and the profound love she gave so freely. Her legacy is one of light, laughter, and love—a legacy that will live on in the hearts of those she left behind.
We invite all who knew and loved Laura to join us in remembering her, and in supporting the family she held so dear. Rest in peace, Laura. You were truly one of a kind, and you will be missed beyond measure.
