Lauren Kate Costanzo, 20, of Congers, passed away at home surrounded by her family on April 16, 2024 after a courageous year and a half long battle with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Lauren graduated from Clarkstown North High School with honors and was studying to become an ESL teacher at SUNY Cortland when she was diagnosed. She was a proud member of the Sigma Delta Tau sorority.
Lauren loved spending time with her family which consisted of her parents, Steven and Eileen, and her three sisters. She was a wonderful younger sister to Jill and Holly, and a loving and protective big sister to Faith. When they were all together, the laughs never stopped. Lauren had a great sense of humor, a beautiful smile, and a bright and sunny personality. She made friends everywhere she went. Lauren will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know and love her. As heartbreaking as Lauren’s passing is for her family and friends, she would love to be remembered with a smile.
