Katherine Lauren Garth

Katherine Lauren Garth was born in Jackson, MS on January 17, 1981, to Dr. William and Pam (McCabe) Garth and passed away on Saturday, February 10, 2024, after a valiant fight with cancer.

Lauren was blessed with an infectious, positive attitude and could light up a room with her smile and beloved zaniness. Lauren loved fiercely and was a loyal and dedicated friend. This love and dedication translated to her furry friends as well and she opened her home to all sorts of animals.

She was preceded in death by paternal grandparents, William Price Garth, Sr. and Clara Louise Garth; maternal grandparents, Edson McCabe and Mary Poem McCabe; aunt, Gayle Louise Garth; and cousin, Wesley Symmes McCabe.  She is survived by her parents, her brother Jeff (Julie), her extended family, her cat Tina Turner, and a host of close friends.

A visitation will be held at Riemann Family Funeral Homes, 11280 Three Rivers Rd, Gulfport, MS 39503 on Monday, February 19^th, from 12:30-1:30 pm.  The funeral will begin at 1:30 pm in the funeral home chapel, followed by burial at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens in Gulfport.  Lauren's wish is for everyone to dress colorfully.   

In lieu of flowers, donations can made to Hand in Paw, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society, Metavivor, or a breast cancer research foundation of your choice.

Riemann Family Funeral Home, Gulfport, is serving the family.
