Laura Strickland Obituary

Laura Lea Strickland, 63, beloved daughter, sister and aunt, was called to her eternal home on Saturday, May 24, 2025. Laura, daughter of Donald and Thelma Strickland was born on September 4, 1961. She was raised in Baton Rouge but later moved to San Antonio, TX to receive her BBS from Texas Bible Institute. She loved serving the Lord through serving and teaching others. Other ways she ministered was through her local church, her various women's bible study groups and through the magnitude of friends she made during her years in the Kemp/Dallas area. After a varied career in ministry, her final destination was as HR Director at Presbyterian Village North in Dallas, TX.

Laura owned her own "Beula Land Farmily" in Kemp, TX. She would often send or post pictures of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, her animals grazing in the fields, or her flowers. She loved experiencing God through being part of His land.

Laura is survived by her father, Donald L Strickland, Sr, and siblings David Strickland (Nicki) and Terri Hymel. She has a host of nieces and nephews that will miss her dearly. To many of these she was known as silly "Aunt Lala." She was preceded in death by her mother, Thelma Strickland, and brother, Donald L. Strickland, Jr. (Tammy).

Laura will be laid to rest at Mt. Zion Cemetery located at 17683 Hwy. 933 in Prairieville, LA. A short graveside service will take place at 10:30 am on Saturday, May 31, 2025. All who would like to attend are welcome. A celebration of life will take place afterwards at her father's house.

And now we leave you with the words Laura saw last thing each evening and aspired to live by, "Give it to God, and go to sleep."
