Laura A. Coniglio (nee Braen) age 45 of Wayne died Monday, December 22, 2008 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pompton Plains with her family by her side.
She was born in Paterson was raised in Ringwood having lived in Hawthorne before moving to Wayne seventeen years ago.

She continued her education at the Mountainside School of Nursing, Montclair where she received her certification as a Registered Nurse with the class of 1984. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from the Edison State College, Edison in Nursing and was working on her Masters Degree in Nursing.
She was the Executive Director for the Family Support Organization of Passaic County, North Haledon for the past four years.
Laura was very active in her community having been nominated as chairperson of the Keep Kids Alive-Drive 25 campaign in Wayne Township, was on the Board of Directors for the Special Needs Camp for the Wayne P.A.L., served as an advocate for area special needs children and helped manage the food pantry associated with the Family Support Organization of Passaic County.
She was truly dedicated to her family, was a phenomenal mother who enjoyed cooking and baking. She dedicated herself to providing the best for her special needs daughter Valerie while at the same time taking a great deal of pride in the accomplishments of her boys Kyle and Ross.
Laura met her husband to be at Victoria’s Station, formerly a restaurant in Wayne, through a mutual friend. On their first date they went to a Chinese restaurant in Fair Lawn where Laura swiped the silverware and made Rick eat with chopsticks. This made for an extremely long first date. Rick asked Laura to marry him at her home on Christmas Eve in 1985. They married on July 26, 1986 at Saint Anthony’s RC Church, Hawthorne and honeymooned at the Elbow Beach Hotel in Bermuda.
Laura is the beloved wife of Richard “Rick” Coniglio of Wayne; loving mother of Kyle M. Coniglio of Wayne who is in his junior year at Montclair State University, Montclair, Ross M.
