Residing and working in Monroe, Louisiana, for a while, she made many friends who she held dear to her heart. Known to them affectionately as “La La”, she loved to spend time with them, taking photos with a smile that seemed everlasting.
Lauren was big into family. Residing for the past few months in Downsville, she moved closer to her “MawMaw”, Mary, who she adored and with whom she loved to joke around. One of her greatest joys in life was being an aunt. Her eyes would light up when she spoke of her nephews, Grayson and Everett. She loved being a sister, and she cherished her father.
