Born in Zurich, Switzerland (and forever annoyed that this didn’t automatically confer Swiss citizenship) on October 20, 1982, to Isabelle and Sam Moss, Lauren died peacefully at home on September 10th , 2021. She grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia. She attended Summit School, Galloway School, Blair Academy and Pace Academy before graduating from Agnes Scott College. Fiercely and vocally committed to human and civil rights, Lauren could uncomfortably expose bias in individuals through simple and persistent questions. Assuming another’s problems as her own made Lauren a dedicated and lifelong friend. Her mischievous sense of humor parried one of her father’s friend’s claim to be a “long lost uncle” with “not long lost enough”. Lauren eventually damaged most of the family cars and was incapable of getting away with even the slightest misstep, which didn’t appear to inhibit her further attempts to find and cross the lines as she grew up. We all learned what a perfect voice she had for radio, and perhaps missed a calling, when she recorded a public service announcement for the local NPR affiliate after mentioning her enthusiasm for WABE to the station president.
Lauren enjoyed leading part of a team as a senior accountant at Paradies Lagardere in Atlanta.
Lauren adored being Aunt to Parker and James Moss. She is also survived by her parents; brother and sister-in-law, Bo and Allison Moss of Charlotte, NC; Uncle and Aunt, Ed Moss and Marnie Bodek of Los Angeles, CA and their sons, Mason, Kamber and Will; Uncle and Aunt Buckley and Pat Crabb of Titusville, PA; Aunt Shirley McGarry of Mentor, OH; and Uncle and Aunt Mark and Valerie Crabb of Guys Mills, PA.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on October 11, 2021, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 435 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta, GA 30308. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to New American Pathways (newamericanpathways.org) or any organization of your choice.
