Mrs. Acree passed away peacefully with family by her side on March 20, 2015, 
following a lengthy illness.

She is survived by her husband, Earl, of 58 years, and their three children and 
spouses, Lisa and Carl Prothro, Bruce and Leslie Acree and Troy and Cheryl 
Acree. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Joshua and Caleb Prothro, 
Alison and Amber Acree, Jared Schonfarber, Emily and Noah Scruggs, Anna and

Tedeton.

Mrs. Acree was born on May 3, 1938, in Calhoun, LA and graduated from Calhoun 
High School in 1956. She lived most of her life in Shreveport, where she was an 
active member of Summer Grove Baptist Church and the New Beginnings Sunday 
School Class. For many years, she sang in the choir, taught Sunday School, and 
Vacation Bible School. Mrs. Acree was a member of the Gideon's Aux. She worked 
at Bell South and later at Walnut Hill Elementary School in the library.

Mrs. Acree loved spending time with her family, especially during the holidays 
and in the summer, camping at the lake. The Acree's enjoyed traveling to places 
like Ireland, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Holy Land, her favorite trip of all. She 
loved tending to her garden, especially her day lilies, and reading, especially 
to her great-grandchildren.

Most of all, she loved the Lord. Though her family and friends will miss her 
greatly, they rejoice in the assurance that they will see her again. "I am the 
resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live; even though he 
dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die…" John 11:25.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Mrs. Acree's name to the local 
chapter of the Gideon's International, 8850 Chadwick Dr. Shreveport, LA 71129. 
(318-687-5476)

Pallbearers will be Donald Jordan, Dwayne Jordan, Billy Banks, James Southern, 
Steve Crosby, and Danny Cory.
