Laura Lea Strickland

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, Louisiana 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. After a varied career in ministry, her final destination was as HR Director at Presbyterian Village North in Dallas, TX. Another way 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 Dallas/Kemp area.

Laura owned her own “Beulah Land Farmily” in Kemp, TX. She would often send pictures of beautiful 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 some of them 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 welcomed. A celebration of Laura’s life will take place afterwards at her father’s house. And now we leave you with the words Laura saw last thing in the evening and aspired to live by, “Give it to God, and go to sleep.”
