Lourdes “Laurie” McNamee of Rumson passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side May 9. Laurie was born in Isabella, Puerto Rico to the late Carmelo and Justa. She was a professional model for many years.
She was beautiful inside and out and she shared that beauty with those she loved in small and large ways every single day. Laurie was most proud of graduating with a college degree and of her loving children who meant the “world” to her.
She is predeceased by three siblings, Fernando, Richard and Elda Vega.
Laurie is survived by her beloved husband of over 50 years Edward F. McNamee; her children, Brett and his wife Josie and Christa and her husband John; and four loving grandchildren, Riley, Emerson, Harper and Quinn.
