surrounded by family, at the Jenkins Care Community in the Memory Care Unit.
Born on June 1, 1942, Lawana was the beloved daughter of Elva and Sadie Blanche Straight. She
was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose heart was fullest when
surrounded by those she loved the most.
Lawana will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and the deep love she had for her family. Her
presence brought comfort, her wisdom guided many, and her smile could light up any room.

cherished grandchildren, Brianna (Darrin) Exline, Bailee (Shane) Spies, Ciara (Justin) Weaver, Carlie
(Brett) Sisson, Coleton (Jordan) Bostic and Tori (Joey) Reitano; and her eleven precious great
grandchildren, Austyn, Rogan, Brantley, Emersyn, Vaida, Sawyer, Russell, Ruby, Lincoln, Laurel, and
Rhett, with another granddaughter on the way.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Brian Bostic, daughter-in-law, Melissa (Adkins)
Bostic; her brothers, Billy and Ronnie Straight; her sisters, Agnus Brumfield, Polly Jenkins, and
Elladean Mitchell, an infant sister, Evelyn, and her parents, Elva and Sadie Straight.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the staff of Holzer Medical Center
