Jillian Leah Grady, 46, Florida
July 24, 1979 – September 18, 2025
Jillian Leah Grady passed away unexpectedly in Florida at the age of 46.
Born and raised in Waterbury and Wolcott Connecticut, Jill was a free spirit with a big heart and plenty of grit. While her journey had its challenges, Jillian’s life was also filled with laughter, adventure, and remarkable resilience. She loved animals, especially her dogs. As a kid, she loved to read, swim, and get into neighborhood activities with her friends. Over her life, she enjoyed adventuring to the beach or the woods with friends or family. People were often drawn to her beautiful smile, quick wit, and undeniable spark. Jillian was loyal to those she loved and offered encouragement and support to her lifelong friends.
In 2024, seeking a fresh start, Jill relocated from Connecticut to Florida to be near her mother, her biggest supporter. Though her life ended too soon, Jillian was deeply loved and valued. She will be remembered for her warmth, her laughter, and above all: her fierce independence. Jill will be profoundly missed by all who knew her and never stopped believing in her.
Jillian is survived by her mother Joanne Grady of Sebastian, FL; her uncle Carl Deloi, her aunt Candance, her uncle Walter Gerdauskas, and many loving extended family members and lifelong friends. She is predeceased by her brother, Shawn Grady, her father, Robert Grady and her aunt, Sheila Gerdauskas, along with her loving grandparents.
A graveside service will be held in Waterbury, CT on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 10 A.M.

Maria Delores Vogenitz, 82, Sebastian
November 3, 1942 – September 29, 2025
It is with heavy hearts, profound love and deep sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Maria; wife, mother, grandmother and cherished friend who left this world peacefully on September 29th, 2025 after a courageous six-year battle with pancreatic cancer. She defied the odds and kept fighting with strength beyond measure; her unwavering courage and resilience was a testament to the depth of her love for her family.
Maria was born on November 3rd, 1942 in PA. She worked as a laboratory technician in both the hospital and private practice settings. Raising her family in Philadelphia then moving to Sebastian, Florida where she spent her retirement enjoying the sun, surf and sand. Several summers were happily spent in scenic New Hampshire as well.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Fred Vogenitz, her children Chris (Christine) Vogenitz and Kelly (Carmine) Giglio and grandchildren Jessica, Sean, Jase, Caden and Kira who will continue to honor her legacy of love. She was preceded in death by her son Keith Vogenitz, brother John Santijanna and parents Elizabeth and Samuel.
Fiesty and fun loving, her warm spirit touched the lives of many. Her smile, smirks, laughter and hugs spoke volumes. Those who knew her loved her. Short and sweet with a big personality; our “Mamma Maria” made a lasting impression.
She found joy in life’s simplest moments, and in creating special memories with her grandchildren. She particularly enjoyed spending time in nature: walking along the beach, gathering shells, camping, kayaking, fishing and gardening and she was well known for cooking memorable meals. (Mamma Maria’s meatballs). She was outgoing and sociable and enjoyed gatherings with friends.
Though she is no longer with us, her spirit will forever guide and strengthen us. We take comfort in knowing that her love endures in the memories we hold, in the traditions she passed down, and in the beauty she saw in the world around her.
As per Maria’s request she will be cremated to allow her ashes to be conjoined with her beloved son Keith and the remainder scattered among the seas.
Maria would rather give than receive so in lieu of funeral services, and to honor her we ask that if you wish, a donation can be made to the VNA hospice house foundation where she received remarkable, compassionate care. https://foundation.vnatc.com/donate-now/
Thank you to all who have shared immense love, comfort and support we desperately needed during this difficult time.
