A Celebration of Lauren's Life in Rochester, New York

Jonathan Goldstein

Lauren Goldstein

Kristof Dereeper

Theresa Goldstein

On the evening of October 6, 2025, our sweet Lauren passed away peacefully with her husband, Kristof, gently holding her hand. Our shining light lost her brave, 1½ year battle with Triple Negative Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This is a very aggressive cancer and Lauren knew that the odds were against her beating it. Her doctors decided to treat it as curable and she entered treatment to win.

Lauren, age 39, is survived by her husband, Kristof Dereeper, mother, Terri Goldstein, father, Jon Goldstein, brother, Ben Goldstein and many cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws and friends. She is predeceased by her grandmother, Doris James and grandparents Don and Barb Goldstein.

Lauren was a bundle of energy. Who knew so much energy could fit into her 4' 11" frame? She loved life and everything it had to offer. She wanted to experience as much of it as possible with friends and family.

Lauren graduated from Rush-Henrietta High School in 2003, earned her BS in Industrial Engineering from Binghamton University in 2007 and an MBA from the University of South Carolina in 2017. While at Binghamton U. she started an Engineers Without Borders branch and led an activity to build a playground in the city.

Lauren began her career with the Boeing Corporation in Seattle immediately following her graduation from Binghamton University. She moved to Summerville, SC, near Charleston when Boeing opened a manufacturing facility there for the new 787 Dreamliner. The majority of her career was spent working on that plane as a quality engineer where she was highly respected by her peers for her expertise, dedication and integrity.

Lauren loved the outdoors and the challenge of climbing mountains. While growing up Lauren climbed many of the Adirondack High Peaks with her family. While living in Seattle she joined Boeing's mountain climbing club and climbed Mount Ranier with them.

Lauren loved to travel and was able to visit the far east, Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico and most of the United States.

She enjoyed many camping trips with friends and family while living in South Carolina.

A lot of traveling was packed into the last 18 months of her life while she battled cancer. While traveling to Houston, TX, for treatment at MD Anderson with Kristof and her parents, we made stops in Atlanta, GA and New Orleans, LA. Kristof's parents, Jeannine and Jeff, joined us in Houston for our stay there. While in Texas we were able to visit the cities of Galveston, Austin and San Antonio.

As she was battling her own cancer she made friends with, and counseled, other women who were on the same journey. She was a great support to all.

Three weeks before learning that her cancer had metastasized to her liver, Lauren and Kristof were able to travel through New England, including stops in Boston and Maine (where they had the best seafood which they both loved) and the Saranac Lake region of the Adirondacks.

This trip was just before coming to Rochester for her Uncle Steve Goldstein's marriage to Jayne Van Zile. It was a tremendous gift that Lauren was able to visit relatives on this joyous occasion so soon before she passed.

Lauren was honored by Boeing with a flag flying over the welcome center at the facility where she worked near the Charleston airport. They will present Kristof with that flag at a small service on November 14th. Many thanks to Boeing for honoring Lauren in this manner.

We love her so much and her memory will always be in our hearts.

Please feel free to add your own tribute, including any pics you might have, to this memorial.
