Lauren Abrams Obituary
On Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019, our world became darker and quieter as one of its brighter stars and passionate personalities Lauren Beth Abrams peacefully passed away following a courageous fight against cancer. She will be forever remembered as a beautiful, fun-loving, warm and gregarious daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and beloved friend who lived life on her terms and to its fullest.
Lauren was a creative entrepreneur and hotelier who had a lustrous career running marketing for many boutique hotels including New York City's Morgans and Royalton Hotels and her own property, Casa Morada in the Florida keys.
She lives large in the hearts of her parents, Paul and Marcy Abrams; brother Jeff and twin sister Linda and her husband Paul Adler; nephews Sam, Joe and Mike; and best friends Alison Slingland, Susan Wolfin, Adam and Laurin Steiger, Lisa Lardi, Sara Abrams who kept Lauren in especially good spirits with assorted games ranging from Canasta and Clue to Pickle Ball
As a big-hearted animal lover, she loved her dogs Jessie Max and Charlie Valentine unconditionally and forever. As a resident of Florida and New Jersey, she has left a profound mark on many old friends, relatives and numerous acquaintances who were lucky enough to enjoy her company.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, November 17, at 2:00 p.m., at Schoem's Menorah Chapel at W-150 Route 4 East, Paramus, New Jersey and Shiva will follow.

Lauren was among the first people to welcome me to S.Florida, she made me feel at home and injected positive energy and fun with her warm embrace, kindness, vivid personality and humour. Is hard to know that I won't see her again. Rest in peace.

Lauren was my friend
I met Lauren when I used her hotel Casa Morada as a location for a photo shoot
We became friends after that and I'll always have memories of staying at her place in Miami, hanging out with Lisa and Barbie and horseback riding in Southwest Ranches
When I think of Lauren it will always be her smile and her funny sense of humor
Her passing is way too soon for someone so full of life and so young
Love and strength to all of her family and friends

To the Abrams family,
I was deeply saddened like everyone to know of the passing of our beautiful Lauren. I first met Lauren in London in 1990 while on a marketing trip to promote the Royalton Hotel in New York. Having been invited to her event, I quickly formed a bond with Lauren and as I was on my way to New York a month later for the first time and with no hotel booked...Lauren insisted I stay at the Royalton. Not only did she upgrade my room, but she also convinced me to extend my stay in New York. A hotel stay that should have cost me at least $1,300 ended up costing $85...for laundry! My friendship would continue and to then meeting her wonderful twin Linda and eventually her parents.
Life is very precious, and all too short, but even in such difficult circumstances we must always cherish her wonderful life and that her calling finally came. She clearly is in a better place and will continue to shine on us, as we all continue on our journey called 'life'.
Much love to you all and will continue to send my prayers and thoughts your way.

Lauren Abrams... wow! I am sad that I never stopped to tell you how often I think of you. You taught me how to behave in restaurants! That is how green I was when we met almost 25 years ago! LOL I promise, every time I order appetizers for myself and then pick off of other people's plates, I giggle a little bit! I also loved that you knew I was young and inexperienced but never treated me that way. I also love that EVERY TIME I saw your face, you were smiling. Thank you for so many warm memories, my friend. Rest Well!
To those of you who had the privilege of so much more time with her, you have my most sincere condolences

Lauren was one of the first hoteliers I met in NYC and had the pleasure of sharing her company in Isla Morada. We also shared birth dates. What a beautiful, fun loving soul.
