GREENVILLE, Mo. -- Mack Lawrence, 86, of Greenville, passed away Thursday, May 11, 2017 at his home in Greenville.
He was born March 1, 1931 at Canalou, Mo., (the first, brightest and best looking) twin son of Armstead and Rethia (McWaters) Lawrence.
He was married Jan. 4, 1955 to Doris (Frederick) in Malden. He was extremely fortunate to share his life with her for 55 years. Together they owned and operated Universal Tax Consultants in Piedmont for 37 years.
Preceding him in death is his beloved wife Doris; his parents; a brother, William Delbert "Debs" Lawrence and five sisters: Earnestine Brooks, Christine Little, Alfreda Gibson, Juanita Swinger and Imogene Smith.
His survivors include four children he claimed, raised and tolerated, Dennis Lawrence and his wife Carol, of Poplar Bluff, Karen Altemueller and her husband Jeff, of Marthasville, Mo., Lonnie Lawrence and his wife Jennifer, of McLean, Va., Ronnie Lawrence, of Wentzville; 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, as well as two brothers: Mike Lawrence (his twin), of Ft. Mohave, Ariz., and J.W. Lawrence, of Winfield, Mo.
He was a proud Korean War veteran, serving from 1950 - 1952 in the United States Army. He was a member of the American Legion Post #281 in Piedmont and the Apostolic Pentecostal Church in Puxico. Mack will be remembered for his commitment to the City of Greenville, the Greenville Bears, his friends and those in need. He was always loyal to his customers, quick witted, and would tease those he cared for the most.
Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Sunday at the Morrison-Worley Funeral Chapel in Greenville. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the funeral home chapel with the Rev. Brenda Henson officiating. Interment with Military Honors will be in the Missouri State Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield.
