Funeral services for Florence Hunt Lane, 84, of Erath were held Saturday, March 19, 2016, at 1 pm at the Labby Memorial Funeral Home Chapel in Leesville, with Rev. Jerry Key and Bro. Donnie Perkins officiating. Burial will follow in the Oak Forest Cemetery, under the direction of Labby Memorial Funeral Home of Leesville.
Visitation was on Friday, March 18, 2016, from 10 am until 9 pm and on Saturday, March 19th from 8:00 am until time of service at the funeral home.
Florence, the daughter of Murry "Mert" and Velma Knapp Hunt, was born on September 21, 1931, in Leesville. She passed away on Thursday, March 17, 2016, in Erath.
Florence was a larger than life figure to her children. They all believed she could do anything-only because she could. She had a strong love of God, of family, and of her country. She raised her children to know God, and she tirelessly witnessed to others; not only in her words but in her actions. She loved her family. No matter what happened, her children knew they could call on her and she would support them.
She loved her country. She worked as role player at Fort Polk for the last decade of her life. She fiercely loved the military men and women and was determined to do her share to help them survive. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. As her sister said, it is hard to imagine a world without her in it.
Mother, we love you and are so grateful you were ours.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Rufus E. Lane, Jr.; daughter, Metha Jean Ambrose; brother, Raymond Hunt; sister, Dorothy Inwood, and grandchildren, Megan Ambrose, Jason Vice and Jules Vice.
She is survived by her sons, Bradley Lane of Leesville and David Lane of Leesville; daughters, Janis Lane Belaire and husband Allen Belaire of Erath and Joyce Lane of Erath; brothers, Glen Ray Hunt, Clyde Hunt and Gilbert Hunt; sisters, Frances Gardsbane, Evelyn Rose and Juanita Hagan; grandchildren, Shane Belaire, Stacy Belaire, Jennifer Comeaux, Justin Ambrose, Norman Ambrose, Holly Lane, Chelshea Lane and Kymber Lane; numerous great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Miss Flo, you will be missed. Your heart was always open to soldiers and their families, to all Role Players and their families, and to all of God's children that just needed a friend; you were always there for them. You and I had so many good conversations , on how to share love and how to set the example for others in praise for The Lord, work habits,friendship,,and just being there. I will always love you miss Flo and thanks for teaching me how to be a better person. . Rest in peace at the right arm of God! Jack

I don't personally know this lady, but she looks beautiful in her picture and I especially loved this: "They all believed she could do anything-only because she could." My condolences to her family.
