Obituary.........................................
Doris Jean (Gaddie) Lawson, 87, of Houston, TX, passed away on
January 24, 2017, at Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital surrounded by
family.
Doris was born on June 4, 1929 in Louisville, KY, daughter of
the late Charles Reid Gaddie and Edythe Anderson Gaddie. She was proceeded in
death by her brother Donald Wayne Gaddie and her husband of 58 years, Robert
Lawson, who passed away in December of 2015. After graduating from high school
and secretarial school, Doris worked as an Executive Secretary but was
determined to find adventure and was thrilled to land a position as a stewardess
for Delta Airlines. She met and married the love of her life, Robert (Bob)
Lawson, and they eventually settled in Houston, TX. Doris was loved by all who
knew her and dedicated her life to her family and friends. She enjoyed spending
time with her children, traveling the globe, playing golf, entertaining friends,
and volunteering for worthy causes. She was an original founding member of St.
Dunstan's Episcopal Church for more than 50 years, a member of the Republican
Women's Club, and a member of Champions Golf Club. When her children were older
she went back to work as an administrative assistant, eventually retiring from
the State of Texas. Doris cherished the lifelong friendships she made in her
golf and bridge groups, her wonderful neighbors, and Delta families. She lived a
full and happy life in Champions for more than 50 years. During this past year
she lived at Champions Brookdale Assisted Living where she made a new family of
friends, but she always kept in touch with her dear friends in the Champions
community through bridge, luncheons and faithful visitors. Doris believed in the
power of prayer; she has entered heaven with an open heart full of grace and
love, believing in life ever after, with Bob by her side.
Doris leaves behind two children, sons, Stephen (Jeanne)
Lawson of Charlotte, NC, and Jeffrey (Kim) Lawson of Spring, TX; four
grandchildren, Gregory (Kiersten) Lawson of Raleigh, NC, Jennifer Lawson of
Houston, Kristen Lawson of Boston, MA, and Michelle Lawson of Columbus, OH;
sister-in-law Carol Gaddie, brother-in-law Lee Lawson and many
cousins.
A memorial service will be held on February 20th at 10:00am at
St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church, 14301 Stuebner Airline Rd, Houston, TX 77069. In
lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Dunstan's Episcopal Youth
Fund at the address above. Klein Funeral Home is in charge of
