Laurie Kathryn Procopio, 50, of Tinton Falls, passed away on Sunday, September 3rd, 2023.
Laurie was raised in Oakhurst and West Long Branch, and leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and unwavering support that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew her.
Laurie attended Shore Regional and Long Branch High Schools and graduated from Long Branch High School in 1991. She continued her education at Stockton University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health Education.
Laurie’s career was a testament to her compassion and dedication. She devoted years of valuable service to the American Red Cross and The ARC of Monmouth in Red Bank. In recent years, she supported her fiancé as an office manager for A Bruno Landscape & Design.
Laurie loved the outdoors. She lovingly tended to her garden and her cherished pond, creating an oasis of beauty and tranquility. She loved to cook remarkable meals and desserts. She took loving care of her and Glen’s dogs, the “babies,” Bruno and Rocco. Laurie’s artistic soul found expression in the form of poetry, painting statues for her garden, and her adventures, including traveling with her fiancé. To her friends, Laurie was steadfast in her support, and always willing to help. However, her most treasured moments were those spent with her family.
Laurie is survived by her mother, Lyn Procopio, her father, Victor Procopio, and his partner, Colette Tabor, her fiancé, Glen Olivadoti, her older sister, Mindy, and her husband, Paul Buckley, her younger sister, Jennifer, and her husband, Eric Maddock, as well as her niece and nephews: Lily, Paul, and Pearce Buckley, and Ethan and Evan Maddock. Laurie’s memory will forever resonate in the hearts of her aunts: Lisa Boyd, Lyn Moffitt, Pattie Paramito, Lynda Lafair, and Arleen Moffitt, her uncles: Brian Moffitt and Steve Boyd, and her numerous beloved cousins. Laurie is reunited with her cherished grandparents, John and Virginia Procopio and Harry and Kathryn Moffitt. Her life was a testament to love, kindness, and devotion, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A memorial gathering will take place at the Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell Street, Long Branch on Saturday, September 9th, 2023 from 12pm – 2pm. For messages of condolence, or to share a favorite memory of Laurie, please visit her page of tribute at www.WoolleyBoglioli.com.

Glen & Laurie’s family,
I just found out about Laurie’s passing. I am totally devastated. I took care of Glen & Laurie’s babies. I really got close to Laurie over the past couple years. We instantly clicked, babbling in “Jersey Girl” style. Lots in common. So glad that Laurie was in my life, even if it was brief. She made me feel like we knew each other forever. RIP beautiful girl.
