Her Story

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-story”]Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas of San Rafael, CA, the victim of a terrorist attack on United Airlines Flight No. 93 on September 11, 2001, was born in Bloomington, Indiana on August 31, 1963.

She was the daughter of Lawrence and Barbara Catuzzi of Houston, TX and Lake Toxaway, NC; the cherished and adored wife of Jack Grandcolas of San Rafael, CA; the loving sister of Dara Ann Near of Short Hills, NJ and Vaughn Catuzzi Lohec of Chatham, NJ.

Lauren was a graduate of Stratford High School in Houston, TX and the University of Texas in Austin, where she was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Lauren and Jack were members of the Marin Country Club in Novato, CA. While residing in San Francisco, she worked for the law firm of Thelin, Marlin, Johnson, and Bridges as a marketing executive, followed by positions at Price Waterhouse and Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Most recently, Lauren was collaborating with a publisher on a book related to women’s life-style achievements aimed at boosting the self-confidence of women specifically, and adult behavior in general. This nonfiction work was a long-term goal and source of great pride to her.

Lauren so appreciated the outdoors that, in her spare time, she participated in hiking, jogging, roller blading, and kyacking amongst many other activities. Lauren was a strong and caring friend to everyone she knew; she will be dearly missed by all.

In addition, she is survived by Robert C.H. Near, Phillip A. Lohec, and her nephews, Stephen Near, Kevin Near, Matthew Lohec, and her niece, Emily Lohec, as well as Jack’s parents Leon and Rita Grandcolas, of Carmel, CA and Rick and Laura Grandcolas, Jim Grandcolas, Susan and Bill Bauer, Mark Grandcolas, Nancy and Alan Meyer, nine nieces and nephews and numerous other friends and relatives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
