Life story
Lauren Corley Vaughn , "Lolo" or "LV" as she was lovingly called by her friends was one in a million. She was a talented softball player, a gifted student, a loving daughter, a protective sister, a doting aunt, a fierce friend and a God fearing Christian. She was silly. She loved to laugh, play jokes and get a rise out of you. Her smile literally brightened every room she walk in to and her dimples were like the cherry on top.
Lauren graduated from Alexandria Senior High School determined to pursue some aspect of medicine as her career path. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology (with honors) from LA Tech. Afterwards, she enrolled in Northwestern State University’s Accelerated Bachelor to Bachelor of Science Nursing Program in Shreveport. Lauren was inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Beta Chi Chapter 068 on March 31. She was scheduled to graduate in August, 2023.
On Good Friday, April 7, 2023, Lauren was the victim of a drunk driving traffic crash in Avoyelles Parish. She was 22 years old. FOREVER TWENTY TWO.
The loss of Lauren has left a void; the world is a little less silly, a little more complicated and a little less bright for those who knew her. However, we feel that we are left with a mission to not only honor Lauren and her desire to be a nurse, but to also raise awareness of the risks associated with drunk and or impaired driving and its fatal consequences. No one should have to lose their child or their friend to one selfish decision. If we can change one person's thought process and potentially save one person's life. then our efforts were worth it.

Not a day goes by…
Our lives changed April 7, 2023. Not a day goes by that we aren’t reminded of LV. Her smile lit up a room, her dance moves were infectious. Her rapping was a 10/10. Her burping was often mistaken for a man’s (no Serendipity for you LV). Her frugality was shocking. But those dimples and giggles were her signature for sure. I am in aw of watching your mom fight for justice for you while putting her faith and trust in Jesus at the forefront while grieving for you. We miss you so much. I think everyday, what would LV be doing or saying if she were here today but we know you would never change places of where you are now. 💜🦋
