Lottie Jean (Sawyer) Vincent

Lottie Jean Sawyer Vincent, 84, of Monroe, Louisiana, passed away on Sunday, December 27, 2020, at her home surrounded by family.

She was born in Lake Village, Arkansas, on October 12, 1936, raised in Clarkston, MI, and later moved to Arkansas to attend the Arkansas State Teachers College in Conway. 

On June 2, 1956, she married her sweetheart, David Dee Vincent, a bond that would last the next sixty-four years.  Together they owned and operated Norcross Carpet & Lighting in Crossett, where Lottie worked alongside her husband for eleven years. 

Lottie was a member of the First Baptist Church of Sterlington, Louisiana. She was a talented singer and guitar player and possessed an ability to captivate people with her music and yodeling.

She never met a stranger, was very outgoing and willing to help anyone in need.  Lottie loved everyone, especially her family, which she happily built her life around.

She is preceded in death by her father and stepmother, Farris and Helen Sawyer, and her mother and stepfather, Bracie and Virgil Robertson.

She is survived by her husband, David Dee Vincent of Monroe, LA; one son, David Gentry Vincent and wife, Marlene, of Cameron, TX; and one daughter, Cheri Jean Vincent McDaniel and husband, Danny, of Waterproof, LA; along with one grandson, Blake Ingram and wife, Kaleigh; and one great-granddaughter, Madison Jean Ingram, all of Richmond, TX.
