Lauren Patrice Kunklier

Our Angel, Lauren Patrice “Wo” Kunklier, 27 years, went to Heaven June 9, 2013 after a long, brave battle with cancer.

She was a 2004 graduate of Lake High School. Lauren had a smile that would light up a room. She loved everything Italian; the food, music and the culture. Her laughter was contagious and she had a hug for everyone she met. Lauren loved going to the beach with her family, walking along the sand, being in the sunshine and sitting on the shore with water flowing over her toes. Most of all she loved her Giovanni!

She is survived by parents, Mark and Pamela; sister, Kristen (Bruce) Kaufman; brother, Ryan and his girlfriend, Stephanie Sanderfer; fiancé, Giovanni Ricchiuti, his parents, John and Jolene Ricchiuti, and his brother, Bruno Ricchiuti (and his fiancé, Jacqui Flaherty); grandparents, Ron and Tommie Bachman; aunt, Linda (Wayne) Whitlock; cousins, Matthew (Katie), and Michael Whitlock. Always by her side was her sweet Chihuahua, Penny.

Funeral services will be held Friday 1:00 p.m. at Hopkins Lawver Funeral Home, 3553 Northdale Street, Uniontown, Ohio 44685 (1 block NW of the square of 619 and Cleveland Avenue).
