She is survived by her mother Susan Hamm Schoonderwoerd, her brother Scott Charles Schoonderwoerd and her grandparents Pete Schoonderwoerd (Sue Anne). She is preceded in death by her father, Terry Karl Schoonderwoerd and grandparents OC Hamm and Juanita Hamm and Salley Shuping.
Lauren was loved by all who knew her, friends, many aunts, uncles and cousins.
There will be a private family service.
