Laureen Vatty

Laureen (Pleshinger) Vatty of Chadds Ford, PA, passed away on Thursday April 13th, 2023 in the loving arms of her husband, at the age of 71. She is preceded in death by her parents Irene (Boross) Pleshinger; and Joseph Pleshinger. She is survived by her husband of 49 years Roger Vatty; daughter Stephanie (Vatty) Hubbard, son-in-law Chad Hubbard and grandson Tristan Hubbard. She leaves behind her loving sister Linda (Pleshinger) Sommer and her husband Bob Sommer, along with many close family and friends.

Laureen was born in November of 1951 in Cleveland Ohio. She had a wonderful childhood filled with a large close-knit family and a group of lifelong friends. She attended Saint Francis of Assisi and was a parishioner until she moved to Pennsylvania in 2018. She went to Notre Dame Academy High School and was an active member in her graduating class, helping to organize reunions. She enjoyed school and had a thirst for knowledge. She attended Ursuline College and majored in English. Laureen enjoyed games and was a wealth of knowledge regarding trivia.

She discovered her career in the insurance industry. Laureen worked for various agencies but spent the majority of her profession with Progressive Insurance where she gained amazing friends and colleagues. Those whom were lucky enough to have met her, remember her fondly.

With her husband by her side, she lived a life full of adventure. Laureen and Roger spent two years living abroad in Germany in their younger years. They experienced everything Europe had to offer. They traveled, explored and were able to include friends and family in their journeys.

Laureen was very proud of her daughter. Stephanie is a Pediatric Nurse and was a travel nurse for some time. Laureen and Roger visited many of various locations that Stephanie worked. They were able to explore and enjoy places across the country. Stephanie settled down in Wilmington, DE, where she met her husband, Chad Hubbard. They welcomed their son Tristan Roger Hubbard in 2017. He was the apple of Laureen’s eye. Laureen and Roger moved to PA to be closer to her family. Laureen spent her last year’s spoiling her grandson rotten and watching him grow. She will continue to watch over him as he grows into an amazing, young man, and he will always know the love that his Gigi had for him. Laureen’s memory will live on through all those that were lucky enough to have known her. You will be forever missed.

    My heart breaks for Roger, Stephanie, and her sister Linda. I went to Notre Dame Academy with Laureen and later worked with her at Franklin insurance. We used to get together with the girls from Franklin for dinner until she moved to Delaware. She was a wonderful person, and she was always laughing. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.
