Beverly “Midge” Lawrence

Midge was born in Auburn on December 4, 1946, and passed at Auburn Community Hospital on May 31, 2026, after a short battle with cancer. Midge is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Bill; two daughters and sons-in-law, Melissa (Eric) Leader and Tracy (Will) Talbot; seven grandchildren, Cody Smith, Christopher Gantter, Dylan Flask, Joe Smith, Samantha Clancy, Chloe Leader, and Cierra Leader; eight great-grandchildren, Cohlton, Cashen, Gage, Collin, Wyatt, Joshua, Jake, and Kylie.

Midge was predeceased by her parents, Charles and Dorothy Weed; brothers, Gary Weed, Chuck Weed, Thomas Weed, Edward Weed, Keith Weed, and Micky Hess; sisters, Barbara Marino, Sharon Saville, Ginny Weed, and Mina Kimball.

Midge worked for years at Cayuga Home for Children and volunteered for a decade with Savar Rape Crisis. Midge’s most recent employment was as a cafeteria aide for Auburn City Schools, which she loved tremendously. Midge had a special gift of connection and care for kids of all ages. She would do anything to make them laugh or smile.

Midge loved horses, baking for family and friends, decorating, and her chance at scratch-offs (maybe too often), but mostly her time spent with her husband and family. Her grandchildren were her whole heart.

Per Midge’s wishes, there will be no calling hours or services. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, 6725 Lyons Street, East Syracuse, NY 13057, in memory of Midge. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Beverly “Midge” Lawrence, please visit our floral store.
