Lauren Waters Fitzgerald

April 13, 1968 - December 29, 2020

Bolton Landing – Lauren Waters Fitzgerald, 52, of Bolton Landing, passed away unexpectedly at her home on December 29, 2020. Born at Glens Falls Hospital on April 13, 1968, Lauren was a daughter of Joan Hall Waters and the late David Waters. Affectionately known as Laurie to her family and friends, she was a graduate of Bolton Central School, class of 1986. Laurie was a proud to be a medic with the Lake George EMS, where she also served as a former Captain. She enjoyed being there for her patients and did all she could to help ease whatever ailed them while they were in her care, even if it just involved talking. She loved growing up and took pride working in the family business, The Waters’ Edge Marina. Laurie took on the special task of adding the Lakeside Deli Cafe to the business. It was here that her true passion and love for people came out. She loved the dockhands, deli staff and customers and looked forward to the daily interactions. She enjoyed each one that worked alongside of her, and had a general concern that each customer had a wonderful experience. Every one she met became part of her family. Laurie strived to make every day fun and worked hard to keep the work environment joyful. Laurie loved her family fiercely. An amazing person, who lived for her husband and two children and eventually her daughter-in-law and grandson when they came into her life. Everything she did, she had her family’s best interests always at the front, even before her own. She extended this devotion to her family and friends. She was the type of person that you could call no matter the time, she would answer and she would listen. She loved to laugh and enjoyed making those around her laugh. She was a joyful person with a wicked sense of humor and did everything with her heart fully in it. Her absence leaves an unmeasurable hole in our lives. In addition to her mother, Lauren is survived by her loving husband, Michael L. Fitzgerald; her daughter, Carolanne (Janice) Fitzgerald of Queensbury; her son, Carson Fitzgerald of Bolton Landing; her grandson, Kaedan Forrester of Queensbury; her brothers, Gerald (Deborah) Waters of Brant Lake and Jason Waters of Bolton Landing; her sister, Linda Fraiser of Corinth; her niece, Hannah Fraiser of Chestertown; along with several cousins, nieces, nephews and many loving friends. A celebration of Laurie’s life will be held in the near future, as she would want it with much laughter and many wonderful stories. A very special thank you to The Bolton Fire Department and Bolton EMS for all the care and compassion given to Laurie and her family during this difficult time.
