She was always very dedicated and passionate about her professional life.
Lauren was the very proud Auntie of her three beautiful nieces who she cherished and adored above all else.

Lauren was also a devoted “cat mom” to her beloved fur babies, Brady and Bella.
Lauren was beautiful inside and out. Lauren had a larger-than-life personality, a heart of gold and an extremely generous spirit that she shared freely with all she
