She started her serving career at Osterbergs Café in Alexandria, then Lees Chop Suey, Holiday Inn, Arrowood and the Coffee Pot. Throughout her lifetime career as a waitress, she met many people and touched many lives. She made many lifetime friends, she had a love for people and a bright personality that could light up a room, and lift people’s spirits. Lauren enjoyed a lifetime of fishing (mostly from shore). Back in the day you could always see her wading in the water at Lake Burgen, Lake Victoria, and Lake Le Homme Dieu, with her stringer tied to a belt loop, and pocket full of worms. She also enjoyed playing softball, giving back to nature by planting miles of trees and spending time with her family and friends. She had a special love for her six grandchildren. Whom she always took on special little adventures.
