'Loved By So Many:’ Manahawkin Mourns 20-Year-Old Crash Victim

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — A GoFundMe has been organized to help the family of a 20-year-old Manahawkin resident who died in a car crash on Sunday evening.

Grace Conover was driving on the Garden State Parkway in Eagleswood Township around 9:30 p.m. when her car veered off the road and struck several trees, according to State Police. Conover died from her injuries, authorities said.

The GoFundMe fundraiser was organized by Sam Laubach for Grace’s stepmother to help her family pay for funeral expenses.

“As a Manahawkin resident and Southern Regional High School graduate, Grace was loved by so many in our local area,” Laubach wrote on the GoFundMe page. "We are using this GoFundMe platform to help Grace's family pay for memorial/funeral expenses, as this should be the least of their worries."

Donations to the memorial fund can be made here.
