On Saturday night, the McMinnville Stake Single Adults planned a dinner and program to honor the service of Lothery J. Laxton to God, country, and family. His wife, Marie, paid a very loving tribute to her husband of sixty-four years. She shared some of their experiences in the military and ended by saying how grateful she is for their career military experience and for their involvement in the church. They have served all over the world in both capacities. Having done such, they have had many unique experiences and met several well-known people. They carry a lot of history in their hearts and in their minds.
They retired to the Winchester area some time ago, and we have known them for many years. A few years ago, due to their advancing years, they moved to the Smithville area to be close to one of their children, Lonnie, and his family. We have visited in both their homes many times, and it is always a pleasure.
Bro. Laxton has given several of our children their Patriarchal Blessings.
