DOROTHY ALINE TYLER LAWRENCE

Dorothy Aline Tyler Lawrence went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 
on Monday, October 12, 2015. A Celebration of her life will be held on 
Thursday, October 15 at 3:00 pm at Centuries Memorial Funeral Home, 8801 
Mansfield Road, in Shreveport, with interment immediately after the service. 
The service will be led by Brother Billy Pierce, with Brother Tommy Patton 
assisting.

Dorothy Lawrence was born on May 1, 1927 in Poland, Louisiana, a small town 
near Alexandria. She graduated from Poland High School, married, and, after 
raising two daughters, went back to school at University of Louisiana in 
Monroe. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Education and taught for a total of 
33 years, first at Lakeshore Elementary in Monroe and then at Bellaire 
Elementary in Bossier. Teaching was her passion. She loved her administrators, 
colleagues, and most of all, her students. She loved teaching the third grade 
especially.

During her years of teaching, Dorothy was awarded many honors. She was voted 
Teacher of the Year at Bellaire Elementary for three years. She was listed in 
Who's Who Among Teachers in America, and was a lifetime member of the PTA. A 
member of Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa Honorary Teachers Sorority, she 
held many offices including State President for the group.

Dorothy Lawrence inspired and impacted hundreds of lives from her classroom. 
The most common expression heard from her students was "Mrs. Lawrence, you are 
the reason I became a teacher." She was much loved and will be remembered 
fondly by her family and friends.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, C. S. "Dutch" Lawrence; and her 
parents, Mack and Lessie Tyler. She is survived by her daughters, Linda 
Robinson and Brenda Heiman; and two grandchildren, Iann Robinson and Melissa 
Heiman.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Dan Moller, Dr. Robert McMillan, Dr. Gazi 
Zibari, Dr. Donnie Aultman, Dr. William Bundrick, and Dr. James Bergeron as 
well as the caretakers at Willis Knighton Pierremont, Willis Knighton Bossier, 
and Cornerstone, for their expertise, kindness and care.

Contributions in Dorothy's memory may be made online to the National Foundation 
for Transplants.
