Lauren Moilien Johnson, 23, passed away on January 5, 2009.

She was born in Oklahoma City, Okla., to Barbara S. Moilien and Donald R. Johnson on Dec. 30, 1985. When she was a year old, her family moved to Windsor, where she grew up and then graduated from Windsor High School in 2004.

Lauren was inherently a remarkably intense and focused young woman with a passion for basic human rights for all people.

She attended and graduated from the University of Portland in Portland, Ore., and had been accepted into the masters program at the Joseph Korbel School for International Studies at Denver University.

Lauren is survived by her parents, Barbara Moilien and Mel Ylarraz, of Fox Island, Wash., and Don and Carol Johnson, of Windsor; her brother, Adam Johnson, of Windsor; and many other relatives.

During her life, Lauren’s appetite for music, prose and poetry was voracious, and she surrounded herself with friends measured by depth who honored her intensity and extraordinary sense of humor. Her formative years were enriched in part by her work at Kate Marie’s Coffee Shop, the Li’l Flower Shop and Highland Meadows Golf Course during her years in Windsor.

Celebrations of her life will take place at Denver University on Jan. 9th at noon at the Joseph Korbel School for International Studies, 2201 S. Gaylord St. in Denver, CO and on Jan. 10 at 10 a.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 7755 Greenstone Trail, Fort Collins. Another celebration will be held in Portland at a later date. Cremation will be followed by inurnment at a later date.

Memorial gifts in honor of Lauren may be made to Rafael House, O.V.S. at the University of Portland and the Minerva Center.
