Laurie Ann Musante (Smith), 63, of East Windsor, NJ, passed away at her residence on Thursday, January 25, 2018. Born and raised in Staten Island, NY, Laurie graduated from Port Richmond High School. A skilled typist and stenographer, she was a paralegal to a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell Law in Manhattan for 13 years until the births of her son, Adam Thomas, in 1984, and daughter, Allison Rose, in 1987. With husband Thomas Musante, she raised their family in West Windsor, NJ, for 26 years.
In 2008, Laurie earned an associate's degree in paralegal studies and the highest academic honors at Mercer County Community College, which she used to fearlessly rejoin the workforce as a legal assistant at Brennan Law Firm, Cranbury, NJ. Most recently, she worked at the East Windsor Bowl & Recreation Center, where she had been an avid league bowler for 25+ years.
Surviving are her son, Adam Musante, and daughter, Allison Musante; daughter-in-law, Sandy Thieu; son-in-law-to-be, Justin Scerbo; brother, Edward Smith; nieces Tracey and Theresa Smith; and countless other friends and family that she loved dearly.
The gathering and viewing will be held at Kimble Funeral Home, 1 Hamilton Ave, Princeton, NJ, 08542, on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018, 12-2 PM and 5-8 PM, and on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, 11 AM-1 PM. A service will be held at 1 PM on Thursday. All are welcome.
