Lauren Roses of Grand Prairie peacefully passed away surrounded by her family on December 28, 2016. Lauren was born on June 9, 1995 to Mike Roses and Julie Denton of Grand Prairie, Texas.

Lauren enjoyed road trips and spending time with friends and family especially with Doll, her adorable cat. A unique part of Lauren’s character was her gracious spirit and constant concern about others’ well-being before her own. She always accepted people just the way they are and didn’t expect anyone to change on her behalf.
