Mrs. Lawson was fortunate to touch many lives in her 33-year teaching career. She had a passion for teaching and a love for Christ that she exhibited every day to her students and family.
She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi and ADK. Family and friends’ most cherished memories revolve around sharing some of her fabulous meals and beautiful cakes. If you left her house hungry, it was your own fault.
