Harriet Laughlin
March 8, 1926 — January 22, 2020
Harriet (DelPrete) Laughlin, age 93, of Norwalk, CT, a former long-time resident of Stamford, CT passed away at Stamford Hospital on January 22, 2020. Harriet was born on March 08, 1926 in Stamford, CT.
Harriet attended Stamford High School and met the love of her life, John Laughlin in 1941, and they were married in 1946. The couple settled in Stamford. Harriet was a devoted and loving mother. She was very proud of her family and was excited to become "Grandma" to her nine grandchildren, and then “Gigi” to her twelve great-grandchildren. Harriet loved holidays and frequent family get-togethers. Any occasion to spend time with her family was important to her. She would spend hours cooking and preparing for her company. She loved nothing more than everyone being together.
Harriet was the beloved wife of the late John Laughlin, Sr. She is survived by her brother Joseph DelPrete; her devoted children, John Laughlin, Jr., Michael Laughlin, Richard Laughlin and his wife Denise, Thomas Laughlin and his wife Elsa, Judi Connors and her husband Robert; and her loving grandchildren and adoring great-grandchildren.
Harriet was known to put on her high heels to cut a rug on the dance floor. Her contagious laugh, her vivacious spirit, her boundless energy, and her impeccable style and elegance will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She was simply the best!
