The company announced that Lauder died from complications resulting from her battle against ovarian cancer. Along with her husband, Leonard, Lauder helped grow Estee to a worldwide brand in cosmetics.
The couple’s son, William Lauder, told pressmen that, “My mother and father were life partners as well as business partners… My mother carried the torch of our company heritage and the values that were passed to her by my grandmother, Mrs Estee Lauder.”
Born in Austria about 75 years ago, she came to the United States at a very tender age with her parents because of the Nazi occupation of Europe.

She was part of the team who created the Pink Ribbon in 1992. The symbol has currently grown to become the leading symbol in the fight against breast cancer.
