Laurice E Acoury
Laurice E. Acoury, age 90, of Palisades Park, New Jersey, passed away on June 22, 2026.
Born in Cairo, Egypt, to Isaac and Alice Saba, Laurice grew up in a multilingual, culturally rich environment that shaped her lifelong curiosity and resilience. She was educated in both Egypt and France, becoming fluent in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and Latin — a reflection of her sharp mind and love of learning.
Laurice married Elias Acoury, with whom she shared a devoted partnership until his passing. After Elias’s death, Laurice raised their two children, Richard and Cherine, with unwavering strength, optimism, and grace. Her daughter Cherine later predeceased her, a loss Laurice carried with profound faith and courage.
Professionally, Laurice built a respected career as a pattern maker in New York City, working for more than 30 years in an industry that valued her precision, creativity, and work ethic.
To her family and all who knew her, Laurice was a shining light — forward‑thinking, hopeful, and deeply loving. She had a remarkable ability to make others feel cherished; her love was not only expressed but felt. Her Christian faith, rooted in her Greek Orthodox baptism, guided her throughout her life and sustained her through hardship. Visitors often left her presence uplifted by her warmth, humor, and joyful spirit.
Laurice is survived by her son Richard Acoury and wife Mary Acoury; her grandchildren Joseph and Gabriella Acoury, and Jessica Levinson; and many extended family members and friends who will forever hold her memory close.
She is predeceased by her husband Elias Acoury, her daughter Cherine Acoury, and her parents Isaac and Alice Saba.
Laurice’s legacy is one of strength, faith, and boundless love — a life lived with purpose, generosity, and light.
