Leatrice Sandel Lastrapes

  Leatrice Sandel Lastrapes was born in Shreveport, Marcy 27,
1923, and died in Redmond, Ore., Oct. 19, 2002, after a lengthy
illness. She was a resident of Shreveport until after the death
of her husband in 1989, when she moved to Oregon to be near her
daughter. She was a wonderful and creative cook, and she loved to
read. She taught both her children to read very early, and they
learned to love reading as well. Both her children grew up to
volunteer to teach adult literacy classes.

Methodist Church in Florien, with interment following at Prospect
Cemetery.
