Audrey Lauer

Audrey Lauer ROCK HILL, SC - Audrey Lauer passed away in her sleep Feb. 22, 2017, at her home in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Mrs. Lauer, 92, was born in Lorain, Ohio, and lived most of her life in Elyria. After graduating from Lorain High School in 1942, she married, raised her children and managed the household while her husband went off to war. She retired after 20 years in fashion sales at Higbee's Department Store. Mrs. Lauer had an outgoing personality and a warm and loving heart. She made friends easily, and often introduced herself to older people she saw dining alone. Many friends over the years depended on her for rides to the doctors and church. While slowly experiencing declining physical health, she kept her wits about her to the very last. Mrs. Lauer was a lifelong member and supporter of St. Jude Church in Elyria, where she was a member of the Altar & Rosary Society. After moving to Rock Hill, she attended St. Anne's Catholic Church and was a member of the Rock Hill First Baptist Church's Tea and Empathy. A mass and memorial service will be held in June at St Mary's Cemetery. Mrs. Lauer was predeceased by her husband, Harry William Lauer, and her eldest son, Ronald W. Lauer. She is survived by sons Randall C., of Rock Hill, and Rex (Nancy) Lauer, of Hilo, Hawaii; granddaughters Stacey Marie Lauer, of Rock Hill, and Rachael Lauer Nagy, of Lorain; grandson Nicholas W. Lauer, of Willoughby, Ohio; and great-granddaughters Kyla Marie Lauer, of Rock Hill, and Emelia Marie Nagy, of Lorain. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Paul Catholic Mission, 301 Mission Street, Hays, MT 59527. Arrangements by Reichlin Roberts Funeral Home in Elyria.
