Lauren M. McCauley, 70, of Franklin, beloved wife of Henry W. McCauley, Sr., passed away Tuesday night, October 25, 2022, and was welcomed into her eternal home with her Lord Jesus Christ, where she knows fully as she has been fully known (1 Corinthians 13:12).
She was born on March 13, 1952, to the late Lawrence F. and Elnora M. Miller. She graduated from Franklin High School in 1970 as the salutatorian, and she graduated from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1974 with a degree in psychology.

She was a member of the Atlantic Avenue United Brethren in Christ church in Franklin and will be dearly missed by her church family.
She loved Jesus, people, and pets. She was an avid reader of the Bible and many other books. Her grandchildren could always count on her to read stories to them.

To Henry and family,
So very sorry to hear of Lauren’s passing. We had some good times when we were in Bible study with you two. Now she is seeing her family in Heaven again.
My sympathies on the loss of your mother and grandmother. May beautiful memories of your time together bring you peace.
My prayers are lifted for you all. Lauren had a smile and a hug for everyone. She was such a treasure to know and spend time with at the many, many women’s studies and events that she attended at Atlantic Avenue Church. I will treasure the memories of this beautiful woman and the thought of her wrapping her Heavenly Father in a Lauren hug.
Our deepest sympathies to Henry, Mac, Stephen, and all the dear McCauley family. Lauren and I were roommates at IUP, and shared many college memories! She loved her Lord, her family, Pepsi, and pets! May she rest in peace…
In Jesus’ love and ours, Kyra and Dave
My thoughts and prayers are with Lauren’s family during this most difficult time.
I will deeply miss Lauren. Church events will not be the same without her. I always looked forward to one of her special hugs that came along with her saying, “I love you my friend.” I am so blessed to have been able to get to know Lauren and to be able to call her my friend.
I am comforted in the fact that she is now in the arms of Jesus and I pray that her friends and family are also comforted in knowing this.
