Lauretta Edna Abronski

Lauretta Abronski (nee Anderson) died on September 30 2017 in Charlotte NC. She was born on March 16 1941 in Brooklyn NY to parents Edna (Kolb) and Harold Anderson. Lauretta was a proud alumna of Baldwin Wallace College in Berea OH. After earning her degree, she enjoyed a series of careers including early childhood educator, realtor, restaurant manager and real estate title work. She was determined and tenacious when it came to protecting and to providing for her family, even working part time in the local funeral home. Lauretta loved to have fun and she had a boundless spirit of adventure. She traveled extensively, both domestically and internationally. Lauretta especially enjoyed her Elderhostel trips with her good friend Mary. Together, they learned to sail a schooner in Maine, canoed and camped through the lakes and rivers of Minnesota and explored the US desert southwest. Lauretta found creative expression in painting and drawing, she enjoyed a round of golf and dogs of any shape and size. She never met a piece of chocolate she did not like! Preceded in death by her parents and sister Carol, Lauretta is survived by her children Donna and Rick, her brother Harry, and many other extended family and great friends. A memorial service for Lauretta will be held on Friday, October 13 at 3 pm at the Leroy United Methodist Church, 7 Park Circle, Westfield Center OH 44251, the Reverend Pat Edington presiding.
