 Services
set for Billie Newman, 71, ex-Carrollton-Farmers Branch teacher
Services for retired teacher Billie Ross Lindsley Newman of Carrollton
will be at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Restland Funeral Home in Dallas.
Burial services will follow at Restland Memorial Park.
The former Carrollton-Farmers Branch schoolteacher died Friday at a
nursing home. She was 71.
Ms. Newman left the district in 1990 after teaching there for 28 years.
Before retiring she taught fourth grade at McLaughlin Neil Ray
Elementary School.
She enjoyed teaching children that age because they were old enough to
be somewhat independent but too young to be rebellious, according to her
daughter, Kim Carrigan of Carrollton.
She said her mother had a special interest in all her children and even
made visits to each student's home to better understand their individual
situations.
"She tried to treat each one as she would want her children to be
treated," Ms. Carrigan said.
In addition to her daughter, Ms. Newman is survived by sister Joyce
Kornegay of El Dorado, Ark.; daughter Kay McMeans of Sulphur Springs;
and four grandchildren. |
