Lauren Alexis Gilbert, age 42, of Collegeville, PA passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, March 13, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Voorhees, NJ on April 27, 1983, the daughter of Laraine (Brewin) Sindoni and the late George W. Stott Jr. 

Lauren was a longtime resident of Marlton, NJ before moving to Collegeville in December 2018.  She was a former parishioner of St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church of Marlton and a current parishioner of St. Eleanor’s Catholic Church of Collegeville.  She was a talented musician and sang at St. Joan of Arc, and later in her band “Ginger on the Roxx.”

Lauren earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Salisbury University before earning her Master’s Degree from Wilmington University.  Her first career was teaching middle school math for Cecil County Public Schools and later at the Brandywine School District, where she served as the District Math Coordinator.  She also served as a National Education Consultant for Big Ideas Learning.  Lauren then transitioned to the corporate world and worked as the Vice President of Operations for 100+ and Connect America. 

Lauren was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of Colon Cancer in April 2025.  Lauren shared her cancer journey publicly in hopes of helping others in early detection.

Lauren was a talented author.  She loved her children deeply, dedicating Ella and Her NeuroSparkly Brain to her daughter Ella, and Lumi the Lion and the Jungleball Giants to her son Austin.  Most recently, she authored Be Still Time, a book about explaining cancer to children.
