Over the years, Lauriano grew as one of the most beloved Spurs fans in San Antonio. She represented Silver and Black every chance she could with over-the-top costumes.
In remembrance of Lauriano, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
“San Antonio has lost an irreplaceable thread in the fabric of our community. Sovia “Spurs Lady” Lauriano embodied the heart and soul of our city, radiating love for SA in everything she did. Her presence brought joy to so many, and we will deeply miss her unwavering spirit,” said Nirenberg.
A family member of Lauriano said a heart attack contributed to her death.
Lauriano had prior heart issues, including surgery last year, during which the entire city showed their support.
