Lauren Kay Donohue, 24

Lauren Kay Donohue, 24, passed away at her home on April 22, 2016, from complications of Addison’s disease. Lauren was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece and friend.

Lauren was born in Great Falls on Jan. 20, 1992, to Kathleen Donohue. She attended the University of Montana in Missoula and was currently working at the Hampton Inn as a night auditor.

Lauren’s joy and enthusiasm for life were contagious, and when she was happy everyone around her was too. She loved God, her family, the outdoors, music, and, amazingly, math. She loved to dance. Lauren will be remembered for her goofiness, her humor, and her affectionate nature.

“Heaven is now even brighter with Lauren in its midst.”

Lauren is survived by her mother, Kathleen Donohue; her grandmother, Ida Donohue; her sisters, Adrienne Vierzba, Janesse Harne, Shelley Donohue and Lindsey Donohue; and her brother, Nathan Schmidt. Lauren is also survived by her father, Don Ayers; her half brother, Lee Ayers; her half sister, Casey Ayers; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 29, at the Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home. There will be a visitation for Lauren one hour prior to services on Friday. Interment will follow services at the C.E. Conrad Memorial Cemetery.

Memorial donations in lieu of flowers may be made to the National Adrenal Diseases Foundation at www.nadf.us. The NADF is dedicated to providing support, information and education to individuals having Addison’s disease as well as other diseases of the adrenal glands.
