Saavedra, Lauren – June 25, 2021.  Lauren passed away suddenly on June 20, 2021. She is survived by her mother, Michele Saavedra (Tom); father, Richard Saavedra; sister, Jennifer Farrell (Eric), niece & nephew, Jonnah & EJ Farrell; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.  She was a graduate of Fairport High School.  She worked as a CNA for many years at various nursing homes in the Fairport area.  Her many resident clients always appreciated her kind and caring attention to their needs. 

Lauren enjoyed soccer and dance growing up, and in recent years she made sure she saw as many of Jonnah and EJ’s sports activities as possible.  All who she loved were the recipients of her kind and giving nature, receiving many presents over the years for reasons known many times only to herself.  Outside of her working hours, she enjoyed spending her free time “hanging out” with her friends.

Calling Hours Wednesday 3-6 PM at the Richard H. Keenan Funeral Home (EGYPT Location)7501 Pittsford Palmyra Road, Fairport.  Funeral Mass Thursday at 10 AM at St. John of Rochester, Fairport.

    Michelle – My heart is breaking for your loss of Lauren. I truly can’t imagine losing one of my children. Know that I’m thinking of you and praying for eventual peace in your life. I didn’t know Lauren but I know she passed way too soon. How sad for you and your family. My greatest sympathy to all of you.

    I pass through the obituaries a couple of
    times a week, and rarely stop at someone’s
    that I don’t know. But I stopped at Lauren’s.
    I was hoping, and praying, that somehow
    this was a mistake, a misprint. How could
    this beautiful, young woman have passed
    away? Illness? Accident? Then I saw
    the tag NAMI. I did not know Lauren.
    And I don’t now how she died. I do have
    my assumptions. I have been the victim
    of several severe depressions. When
    suicide seemed like a decent option.

    Regardless, I cannot possibly fathom
    your loss here. I have 2 kids that grew up
    in Henrietta. If either one of them died before
    me, I don’t know what I’d do.

    Please accept my condolences. I will be praying
    for you to find peace. So sorry.

    I am still in shock as no parent should have to deal with the loss of their child. Tara, Amanda and I have so many memories of playdates, sleepovers and family get-togethers when the girls were younger. We pray that Lauren is now at peace and that you all take comfort in knowing that she’s with Judy, Grandma Jo and Grandpa Frank. Our deepest sympathy.

    My deepest sympathies go out to your family, Lauren. I haven’t seen you since high school, class of 2006 but every time I think of Fairport I think of you thanks to 9th grade. To this day, every Christmas when “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Song by Mariah Carey comes on you are and will always be on my mind thanks to the year 2002. I’m so very sorry life did not go as planned and I’m posting this to show that there are people out there that will always care about you. I will never forget you. I pray you are at peace. Until we meet again old friend.
