Lauren DeMato Obituary: Ashely DeMato is in grief following the sudden passing of her mother, Lauren C. DeMato (D’Ambrosio), on February 4, 2025. Ashley took to Instagram to post a very emotional tribute in which she was visibly very heartbroken but at the same time consoled by the thought that her mother would now watch over her and her unborn daughter.
Baby girl Cooney was taking too long to come Earth side and you just couldn’t wait to hold ‘your baby,'” Ashley wrote. “As unfair as this is down here for us, it brings me peace knowing you are holding and kissing our little girl waiting to send her down to us!” She went on to say, “I don’t think I will ever understand why you had to go but I will find strength and peace knowing you are our forever Guardian Angel. I know that I will be seeing you in our little girl for the rest of our lives. Until we meet again.”
