Nov. 20, 1942, a beautiful baby girl was born to Mr. Gilbert Stroman and Mrs. Irma Pearl James Stroman, who they named Lueasea Elizabeth, affectionately known as “Louise.”
Lueasea accepted Christ at an early age at St. Rest Baptist Church under the pastorage of the late Rev. B.F. Martin. Later in life, she united with the House of Prayer, under the leadership of Pastor Jeanette McDonald and now interim Pastor Michael Davis Sr., where she remained a faithful member until her death.
Lueasea attended public schools in Webster Parish and graduated in the class of 1961 from Webster High School.
In 1966, Lueasea united in holy matrimony with Mr. Robert Taylor, who preceded her in death. To this union two children were born, Kemeco and Robert Jr. and two children he reared as his own, Gilbert and Flossie and a special niece whom she reared as her own, Chiquita.
She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters, Flossie Warren, Annie Stroman and Ruby Hemphill and one brother, George Tatum.
She leaves to cherish her memories two daughters, Kemeco Taylor Small (William) of Shreveport and Flossie Stroman (Carl) of Cedar Hill, Texas; two sons, Robert Taylor Jr. of Minden and Gilbert Dewayne Stroman (Mary) of Euless, Texas; a brother, Mr. Johnny Ray James of Minden; sister, Mrs. Johnnie Faye Moore of Minden; special niece, Chiquita Stroman (Peppy) of Houston, Texas; nine grandchildren, Brittney, Brensen, Taryn, Carl Jr. (CJ), Christen (Chrissie), RoChealyn, Ja’Quoryne, Je’Dyah, Chandler and Kiersten; one great-grandchild, Michael; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
