BUXTON- Kristine Louise Lawrence, a long time educator, passed from this life on May 6, 2016, at home with the support and presence of her loving family. She was the third child born to Gerald and Junea Lawrence on May 16, 1954, in Winfield, Kansas.
Her early life on the family farm helped form the loving and strong personality which was to carry Kristy through her many adventures. She enjoyed many pursuits such as sewing, quilting, music, reading, photography and traveling the country in her camper.
Kristy graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Southwestern College, Winfield, and a Master's Degree from Wichita State in Wichita, KS. She taught in the Kansas and Maine school systems, retiring from Scarborough High School. Kristy was loved and respected by the many people whose lives she touched.
Kristy was predeceased by her father, Gerald Lawrence. She is survived by her mother, Junea Lawrence, brother Terry Lawrence and wife Anne, sisters Kathleen Michael, Joanna Orr and husband Blaine, Julie White and husband Brian, numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and uncle. She also leaves many friends, especially the Scheibenpflug Family, who have shared so many heartfelt memories.
For those who wish to join us in celebrating her precious life, we will gather at St. Anne Church Hall, 299 Main Street, Gorham, ME, on Tuesday, May 10, 2016, from 4-6 p.m. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
