Laurie A. Scafati


Laurie Ann Scafati, age 58, of Norton, formerly of Dedham, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on Friday, July 10th following a brief battle with cancer.

Born in Boston on February 9th, 1962 to the late Victor and Lauretta (Hanlon) Scafati. She was the youngest of seven children.

Laurie’s greatest joy in life was her family with her most treasured memories in life being summers on Nantasket Beach as a child, boating on the ocean as teenager, and vacationing with her daughter on the beach. Above all she cherished being a mother, considering her daughter her greatest accomplishment in life.

Blessed with the gift of gab, Laurie will always be remembered for her ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone and make you laugh when you needed it most.

A passionate animal lover, she adored her dog, Bella and missed her late dog, Jordan.

Laurie is survived by her loving daughter, Kristen M Shamon of Mansfield. She was the dear sister of Judith MacDonald of Vermont, Stephen Scafati of Needham, JoAnne Voltaire of Maine, Janet Morin of South Carolina, Mary Conroy and her husband, Ted of Seekonk, and David Scafati and his wife, Sherry of South Carolina. She was the treasured aunt of LeeAnn and Lisa Gibney of Vermont as well as several other nieces and nephews. Laurie was predeceased by her brother-in-laws, Terry Gibney and Will Morin. She will be missed by many more family and friends.

A Memorial Mass will be held in St. Mary’s Parish, 330 Pratt St. Mansfield, MA on Friday, July 31, 2020 at 10am.

Expressions of sympathy in memory of Laurie may be made to the MSPCA.

    Laurie, you are the greatest, most genuine person I have ever met, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. I will forever miss our long walks and all of our conversations at the kitchen table, and mostly, I’ll miss you. I’m so glad that I was able to help you and be there for you as long as I could, I was truly blessed to have met you and no one will ever compare to you and how wonderful you are. Keep your family and loved ones safe and continue to look out for them as you always have. Until we meet again and can catch up, I always have you in my heart❤️

    I am so sorry to hear of Laurie passing. She was a nice person but I have not seen her in years. When we lived on Veterans Road she was a good friend. May she Rest In Peace.
    Sincerely,

    I write this with a heavy heart. I have the fondest memories of our teenage and young adult years! It was so nice that we had stayed in contact through Social Media, there are so many things I wanted to tell you and just the other day was thinking of you. I remember Sarah and Kristin playing together as toddlers and how we hung out, laughing and reminiscing of all the good times we had. Life is so short but I know you are with the angels now. Rest In Peace my dear friend! I know how much you loved your family may your beautiful memory bring them peace.

    So sorry for your loss, Kristen. I grew up next to your mom. Her mom, Loretta, and my mom, Vi, were the best of friends. Laurie will be missed. I do remember her infectious smile. Spoke off and on throughout the years. Why does life get so busy. May God bless you, Kristen, and your family ❤️
