Obituary
Lauren Elizabeth Andruzzi of Bethpage, NY, 20 years old, passed away suddenly on Friday September 27, 2024. Lauren was born on June 15, 2004 to proud parents Joseph C. Andruzzi and Christine Eileen (Nee) Kretzmer at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bethpage, NY. She was the youngest of 3 children.
Lauren attended Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, NY and was a devout Catholic. Upon graduation, she attended Arizona State University, in Tempe Arizona, majoring in Business Law and was matriculating in her Junior year when she passed. Lauren was planning for a career in the legal profession.
Lauren lit up the room wherever she was and was a prankster provocateur par none. She loved the Lord, her family and friends unconditionally. Dear siblings Joseph C. Andruzzi, Jr., sister Alexa Herlihy and cherished nieces Emma and Paige were the center of her world every day.
Lauren was a beloved Big Sister of the Arizona State University Sorority Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi) and was a competition soloist and group production dancer in Tap, Ballet and Contemporary from age 5 through high school graduation in her cherished dance family at Modern Rhythms Dance Academy in Bethpage, N.Y.
.
Lauren is survived by her beloved parents, her loving sister Alexa and brother Joseph, nieces Emma & Paige, her brother and sister Michael SanFillipo and Karin Lemon, Uncle David and Aunt Sandi, her cherished grandmother Arlene Kretzmer and many Cousins. Lauren is survived by heartbroken devoted Aunts and Uncles Debbie and Vic Doyle, Sharon and Ron Goodwin, Tricia and Guy Gorham who doted on her and were present in Lauren’s joyous University life every day.
Lauren was recently pre-deceased by her inspiring Abuela Denise Geres of South River, N.J. and by her aunt “Col” of Little Egg Harbour, N.J. who passed in October, 2022 but who remained ever with her, guiding Lauren in her world every day.
Family & Friends are invited to Chapey & Sons Funeral Home 20 Hicksville Road Bethpage, NY 11714 on Friday October 4, from 3:00PM to 5:00PM and 7:00PM to 9:30PM for Visitation.

For those of you inquiring in lieu of flowers, the family suggests your generosity be extended to the Ronald Macdonald House, New Hyde Park, NY in support of whose mission Lauren's Sorority Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi) have been partners since 1979 and where Lauren's love of life, love of cooking and her love of Service illuminated All.

Lauren you were such an amazing person, I can not possibly fathom the pain and sorrow everyone is feeling at this moment but I hope that everyone knows that she touched so many others in the most positive of ways. I was truly blessed to be able to call her a friend.

I am at a complete loss of words. Lauren was someone who could light up a room, and one of the kindest people that I had the privilege to know. She was a great friend to others, and an important member of our community. She will never be forgotten. We love you Lauren.

At a loss of words. Lauren lit up every single room she walked into. Without a doubt one of the greatest friends anyone could ask for whether is was to go to the movies, hang out, or a shoulder to lean on, she was there. I remember when Lauren and I met in 2022 when she first joined the chapter. Her infectious laugh, good vibes and smile immediately made me gravitate towards her and I am so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to know her so well. I wish all of the Andruzzi family my deepest condolences during this emotional time. Sending all of my love and prayers your way❤️

Beautiful, silly Lauren. Devastation doesn’t begin to cut it. It’s interesting how in life you don’t need much time to know your connection with someone, and from the second I sat in the office and watched your mom's phone ring about 5x times in under an hour (all calls coming from you just to say hi), I knew we were one in the same. Your love for your family was endearing to watch, and your quick-witted humor never failed to make me giggle. I am going to miss my office buddy, and I promise to make sure Hashim still doesn’t steal your pens. You are eternal. I love you Andruzzi family and hope that in this heartbreaking time you are feeling the love and support that you outpour to all in your presence on a daily basis.

Lauren will be remembered as the champion of those she has loved, particularly her parents, whom she has generously shared with the Andruzzi Law Office. The spirit of Lauren is a reminder to love family, friends, co-workers, classmates and strangers with grace and without fear. May she Rest in Peace.

Debbie and I send our deepest and sincere condolences to the Andruzzi Family. It is really difficult to find the words other than to say we pray for strength for each and every member of the family through God’s grace, one day at a time. We know Lauren as a niece to her Aunt Coleen, our dear friend. Lauren was a bright light and a kind soul. I remember that Coleen would light up whenever they saw one another. Lauren was one of the lights in Coleen’s life along with her brother, Joseph and her sister, Alexa. I have no doubt that Aunt Coleen and Lauren are once again reunited, and that brings a smile to my face. ❤️
