Audrey Lavonne "Tootie" Wilson Laster, the third of six children, was born to Melvin and Viola Marie Wilson in Pine River, Minnesota on December 27, 1939. Reared in the Pequot Lakes region of Minnesota, she moved with her family to the Oakland bay area of California where she graduated from Richmond Union High School, Richmond California in 1957. She married H. C. "Chick" Laster on September 28, 1958. To that union were born two sons -- Michael "Mike" H. Laster and Richard "Rick" J. Laster. The Laster family relocated to Brown County, Texas in 1962. Lavonne was a longtime resident of Bangs, Texas and an active member of St. Mary's Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Brownwood.

She retired from the Department of Transportation after nearly 30 years of service in August, 1996. Since 1980, she was a resident of Leander, Jonestown and Cedar Park, Texas and an active member of St. Margaret Mary's Catholic Church and a former ministry team leader of Beginning Experience. Throughout her life she was an active gardener, an accomplished artist, a dedicated worker, a devoted friend, a loving wife and mother, and a proud grandmother.
She is survived by Rick and Kelly Laster and grandchildren Kathleen Laster, Elizabeth Laster and Brian Laster of Cedar Park, Texas; Mike Laster and Raul Poggi of Houston, Texas; siblings Beverly McIntire, Boring Oregon, Kenneth and Jeannie Wilson, Sacramento, California, Patty and Ken Stalker, Oakley, California, Marvin and Nancy Wilson, Modesto, California, Rick and Linda Wilson, Brentwood, California; numerous nieces and nephews; Chick and Donna Laster of Baird, Texas; and many friends and loved ones.

Hello Ricky & Family,
May the love of friends and family carry you through this difficult time. Lavonne's service was spiritually uplifting, warm, thankful, very fitting for a great lady! I am truly blessed to have known her and will miss her dearly. I don't recall ever seeing a frown on her face, nothing but wide smiles from ear to ear. She truly loved her family by showing her heart through her smiles and kind words. I hope your pain is replaced with warm loving memories and laughter when you catch yourself saying to your kids something your mom used to say to you. We love you and will keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Rhonda & Steve Henry

You will be missed! I loved hearing your stories about your childhood, especially when your dad would walk ahead of you to make a path in the snow. Thanks for all the good times that made our work day pass fast. God Bless!
