N.J. woman killed in murder-suicide to be honored at Grounds for Sculpture
A tragic murder‑suicide in Montgomery, New Jersey claimed the lives of 24‑year‑old aspiring artist Sloane Grodnick, her mother Lora, and her father David. The shocking loss has left the local community reeling.
Friends quickly organized a GoFundMe campaign that surpassed its goal in less than a day, raising funds to plant a tree in Sloane’s memory at Grounds for Sculpture, a renowned outdoor museum in Hamilton Township.
Sloane, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design and a prospective master’s student at the Rhode Island School of Design, was celebrated for her creative spirit and early acts of kindness, including a 2011 community‑wide donation drive for a child in need.
The planned memorial will situate her tribute among world‑class sculptures and gardens, offering visitors a place to reflect on her passion for art and the lasting impact she had on those who knew her.
