James Lawrence Obituary
Born January 10, 1951, in Cheverly, MD, he was the son of the late James F. Lawrence, Sr. and Edith (Husband) Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence was an accountant for Anne Arundel County, MD and a self-employed photographer. He was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Annapolis, MD and Garrett Co. Arts Council serving as treasurer. Husband, father, son, faithful friend, super granddad, photographer and artist are all ways in which we choose to remember James F. Lawrence Jr. He was all these things and more to those who knew him. It is safe to say that Jim will be remembered for many qualities, including his tremendous sense of humor, warm smile, and good natured spirit. Some of his favorite pastimes were romping with his grandkids, photographing nature, hiking and camping, making blueberry pancakes, enjoying a good glass of wine with a wonderful meal, and appreciating the beauty of Garrett County.
His love in life was spending time with his family, soul-mate, Louise (Robitaille) Lawrence; children, Anne Jenkins and husband, Paul, Williamsport, MD and Matt Lawrence and wife, Christine, Elkridge, MD; stepmother Violet Lawrence, Grasonville, MD; and grandchildren, Mason and Willow.
Friends will be received at Newman Funeral Homes, P.A., 179 Miller St., Grantsville, MD, on Friday from 1-3 p.m. Services are being held to remember Jim and his life on Friday, March 25th at 3:00 p.m. with Howard Metzger officiating. Interment will be in the Blooming Rose Cemetery. A memorial mass is being planned in the Annapolis area. Information with the date and time of the memorial mass will be posted on Caring Bridge or his daughter can be contacted at 240-446-3502. Expressions of sympathy may be directed to Myelodysplastic Syndrome Foundation, Caringbridge.org or to the Garrett County Arts Council. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.newmanfuneralhomes.com
