In life, Lauren dreamed of standing beneath the towering trees of the Redwood Forest and feeling the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean on her skin. In accordance with Lauren’s wishes, cremation has taken place and her ashes will be dispersed in these special places so that they may merge gently back into nature and nourish new life. Memorial contributions may be made to the funeral home. These contributions will allow Lauren's son to lovingly disperse her ashes according to her wishes. A Celebration of Life ceremony will take place on Lauren’s birthday–Sunday, March 22–from 2pm to 8pm at the Franke Center For the Arts, 214 E. Mansion St. Marshall, MI 49068. All are welcome to attend.
