Amanda Dawn Laurito, born July 12,1981, in Ocala, Florida, was called home to be with the
Lord on January 12, 2026, at her home. She was the beloved daughter of Tom and Cathy
Laurito and a graduate of Forest High School.
Amanda spent many years as a dedicated server, and people always remembered her
kindness, her humor, beautiful smile, and the way she made others feel welcome.
Above everything else in her life, nothing mattered more to her than her three sons, Mason,
Caden, and Parker, whom she loved deeply, trusting them to God’s care. She appreciated
simple moments and found comfort in familiar places, enjoying time in the mountains or
near the beach when she could. She also had a love for home improvements, taking pride
in creating and restoring spaces, finding peace and purpose in working with her hands
during different seasons of her life.
Though Amanda’s passing leaves a profound absence, we take comfort in faith, knowing
that love has carried the one we are missing to the place of peace where Amanda’s spirit
now rests. Amanda will be greatly missed by her family and all who love her.
Amanda is survived by her three sons, Mason Laurito, Caden Dippolito, and Parker
Dippolito, parents Thomas and Cathy Laurito, sister, Ashlee Seek (Mel), brother, Thomas
“TC” Laurito, nieces, Carlie Usher (Judge), Destynee Laurito, nephews, Casey Deluca
(Lismary), Oliver Laurito, aunt, Laura Napier(Phil) and uncle Tim Hardman(Darlene) and
numerous cousins whom she loved dearly.
A Celebrations of Life is being planned for a later date.
