Lauren G. Quarltere

I would like for everyone to know that my soul mate, my loving wife, Lauren Hollins-Quarltere has passed away on April 21, 2023 at the age of 71. We have had a life long true love from dating in high school, taking her to the senior prom, to marrying her at 40 years old. And, having a 32-year loving and caring marriage.

She lost her 5-year battle with cancer and passed away gently in my arms at home.

Lauren and I had lived in Patchogue and Bellport our whole lives until 1998. We moved to Roxbury, NY and we became a part of the community. Lauren has a true gift of touching everyone’s heart, especially mine. She  immediately was loved by everyone and by her many projects to better the community. If you talk to anyone who knows her, you will find out.

Lauren will be missed by us all, but not just us, also by her three children, Nicole, Gabe, and Noah; her nine brothers and sisters and six grandchildren.

To celebrate her life, we are giving Lauren a celebration of her beautiful life on Wednesday May 17, 2023 at 11am at the Jay Gould Memorial Reformed Church. Following will be a reception at Kirkside Park, where Lauren and I would walk to help her recover.

In lieu of flowers, a donation in Lauren’s name may be made to her favorite charity, St. Jude’s Research Hospital.
