When she was in junior high, she was a roller derby girl! She graduated from Bismarck High in 1979. Shereen met the love of her life, her world, her soulmate, Kirk Lauer the summer of 1981. Shortly thereafter they were married December 3, 1982. They welcomed their one and only child, Cortney in 1983. Shereen and Kirk again professed their love for one another on December 2, 2007, for their 25th wedding anniversary. They renewed their vows before their family and friends at First Lutheran in Bismarck. Shereen worked various places throughout her life. Kmart, McDonald's, and her most recent was at Capital Lanes. She worked the front, and in the lounge as a bar maid. That is where she met and made lifelong friends that were near and dear to her heart. When Capital Lanes closed their doors, she began looking after her grandson, Austen, full-time. She welcomed her granddaughter, Talitha, in May 2009, another grandson, Karsen, January 2016. And just this past year she was blessed to become a great grandma to Asher in 2020. Even though she was bestowed the great grandma title, she was and will always be referred to as mom or "ma" because that is what she was, an amazing mom. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. Every football, basketball, softball game, Sunday school program, choir concert and dance recital she was right there cheering them on. Shereen loved to play softball, she loved to bowl, go camping and fishing. During football season you could hear her yelling and blowing the horn down the street while she and Kirk were watching their Minnesota Vikings. Every game day you would see her in a Vikings shirt. When Kirk retired in 2017, the two became even more inseparable. The past few years they were able to spend some time camping with dear friends at the lake, as well as camping trips with the kids out to Cross Ranch. Shereen was one of those people that had a smile that could light up the room. She had an amazing sense of humor. Even more so this past month and a half while she was in the hospital. She never lost her joking side. She had an enormous heart that always wanted to make sure everyone she loved was okay. Her heart and her soul are one of a kind. The amount of love she had for her family is something that can never be put into words. To her, family was everything, especially her grandbabies. Shereen will be deeply missed and forever loved by her family and friends. Grateful to have shared in her life is her husband of 39 years, Kirk Lauer; her daughter, Cortney (Jeremy); her grandchildren, Austen, Talitha and Karsen; great grandson, Asher; her mother, Sylvia Delzer; her brother, Ronny Delzer, all from Bismarck; her mother-in-law, Marlys (Randy) Anderson of Turtle Lake, ND; her mother-in-law, Marcella Lauer; also, her dog, Tessa, that was always beside her; and her cat, Dexter. She was preceded in death by her father, Leo Delzer; brother, Randy Delzer; her father-in-law, Raymond Lauer; her brother-in-law, Bryan Lauer; and her furbabies, Chyna, Squirt, Tess and Juno. Shereen\u0027s family would like to give a heartfelt thanks to Sanford 7th floor oncology nurses and staff as well as ICU. They were with her every step of the way with their dedication, love and support.
