Lawrence Chambly died Monday, Feb. 12, 2018, in Winnsboro.
He was born April 25, 1938, in Gary, IN, to the late Ray Marion and Myrtle Blossom Dill Chambly.
The Chambly family moved to California when Lawrence was young, where after losing his father in WWII, he helped support his family at the age of nine, working his paper route.
He finished his public education and then received a degree in business from University of California in Los Angeles.
A proud US Army veteran, it was while stationed at Fort Hood that he met the love of his life, Betty Ruth Foster. She preceded him in death.
