She is survived by her son Levi (age almost 4); her parents, her brothers; Ryan, Matthew and Teddy, and her sister Madilyn; her maternal grand mother, Diane Tober; her aunts and uncles - Julie Gebhardt, Susie & Joe Marsh, and Tom & Melanie Winternheimer; and many cousins. \n\nLauren, with her brilliant smile and generous laugh, brought spontaneity and joy everywhere she went. She was vivacious, loyal, quirky and strong-willed, kind and determined, with a loving and adventurous spirit. She loved the outdoors, homemaking, gardening, hot and cold tea, dancing, thrifting, making people laugh, animals - especially horses, dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits, and of course, foxes; but most of all - Levi. She was creative and unique, marching to the beat of her own drum. She was as comfortable in cowboy boots and jeans or a robe and slippers, as she was in a ball gown and heels.  Lauren lived with passion, courage, and fierce independence. The epitome of a mama-bear, she was one of the most dedicated, selfless, hardworking and accomplished mothers whose ultimate desire was to give Levi the life he deserves. There wasn’t a person on Earth she didn’t have a smile to offer, an interest in knowing, or the heart to help. Everyone was a friend, and she left a memorable impression on every life she touched. She was happy go lucky, genuine, full of joy and light, and she spread all she had to those around her. Little did any of us know, she didn’t save enough light for herself. No one knew the darkness she faced when alone or the impossible standards she set for herself. Cherishing her privacy, Lauren didn’t discuss her demons with many others. Most did not hear of or see her insurmountable and all-consuming pain, or like us, couldn’t fathom it tearing her away from Levi. The realization that someone could so successfully hide in broad daylight, portray such strength and project as much tenacity as Lauren routinely did, left all who knew her shaken to their core.\n\nIt is impossible to prepare for the harsh reality of losing a loved one, especially a parent or child, at far too young of an age, but to lose Lauren in this way is unfathomable. It is a finality difficult to accept. It has left behind a desperate longing to understand the rationale behind her decision. Suicide is a complicated end that is compounded by a vast array of emotions and social stigma.\n\nSomehow, Lauren believed we could live without her and much as her confidence in us to do so is a bitter pill to swallow, we will draw strength from her faith in us to carry on. We will carry her legacy with us – her determination, intelligence, strength and warmth, as well as her fears, her flaws, and her untimely death. We will carry her in her wholeness. We will see her in the face and mannerisms of Levi as he grows. We will heal, we will persevere, we will laugh, we will cry, we will thrive, but life will never be the same without our precious Lauren. She is so very sorely missed. We are a family who lives with joy and disappointment, sadness and love, trials and triumphs, laughter and tears; we remember, we tell stories, we pray, we hope, and most of all…we love. And we take comfort in knowing we will be together again one day and that our cherished girl has found her way to the comforting and healing arms of our Savior.\n\nIn lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the GoFundMe account for her son Levi, which will be held in savings for his future. https://gofund.me/be985c26\n\nGlobally, one person takes their own life every 40 seconds, which is an epidemic of massive proportion, leaving virtually no family untouched. The ensuing recovery for families must find a balance between the crushing punches of sorrow, loss, guilt, regret, abandonment, betrayal, rage, doubt, shame, shock, blame, fear, and confusion and the light-filled promises of presence, love, and joy through our memories and the legacy left behind.\n\nThe desperation, pain and despair Lauren must have endured, to feel it best to leave her most beloved Levi is unimaginably heartbreaking. If talking about it, exposing it, and declaring it publicly will help even one person find a way to talk about their pain, a difference might be made. If only to save one family from the pain and anguish of losing a loved one through bringing awareness to this tragic and senseless loss of life, then Lauren's death will have some meaning. \n\nFriends and family may pay condolences at the following events:\n\n~ Florida Cerebration of Life\nTrinity Presbyterian Church\nSunday, February 9th @ 1 p.m. \n(156 Florida Park Drive N., Palm Coast, FL 32137)\n\n~ North Carolina Celebration of Life \nTaste of Heaven Campground\nFebruary 16th from 5-8 p.m. \n(488 Trinity Lane, Dunn, NC 28334)"}},"city":"Dunn","county":"Harnett","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"01/21/2025","age":32,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/c3a3f1c18372d483ade8dbcc7c9359b1/object_Object_0920bf600f.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"036759dd-70d4-583a-9106-a65b3f31cd04","slug":"article-571","name":"Tyrin Markeith Kingsberry","content":{"data":{"content":"\"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
