Lauren Walkup

Lauren’s love for her family was incomparable and without bounds. Her devotion and loyalty to those she loved was unparalleled. She worshipped her family and put their happiness, safety, and well-being above all else. Her intellectual wisdom, caring heart, vivacious soul, beauty, and unconditional love will be greatly missed by all those that know her, but her family and friends draw strength through her shared absolute faith in God and our mindfulness that she will forever live on through the imprint she made on each of us. How blessed we have been and we will rejoice in the day that we are reunited with her.

She was a passionate animal advocate and champion. She worked tirelessly to find a “forever home” for all discarded and abandoned animals, as she knew that they have so much love to give in return. Her compassion and generosity in protecting and caring for animals was beyond measure and leaves a legacy that remains with all of her four-legged friends.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails...But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13

Lauren was preceded in death by her mother, Polly Fangman (Terrill); her brother, Donnie Fangman; and her nephew, Mark Musacchio. Lauren is survived by her adoring husband of 36 years, Keith; her daughters, Ashley Walkup, Shannon Herink (Walkup) and husband Adam, and Lori Walkup; her son Clint Walkup; her grandbabies, Thomas, Patrick, Peter, and all future grandchildren; her father, Dr. Donald Fangman; her sister, Patrice Fangman; as well as many cherished aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart I’ll always be with you.” – Winnie the Pooh
