Obituary for LaMonne Price (Bicknell)
La Monne Bicknell Price, 94, died April 24, 2015 in Cleburne, Texas.
Friends and relatives are invited to attend an informal gathering to celebrate her life at 12 noon Wednesday, April 29, 2015 at West End Grill, 1629 West Henderson St, Cleburne, TX, to share a meal and reflect on the life of our beloved Miss Willie, as she was called by those who loved her.
The daughter of Monroe Bicknell and Lethia Jane Eaves Bicknell, La Monne graduated from Cleburne High School in 1938, attended TCU briefly, and then was hired as a telephone operator. During WWII, she worked in the War Ration Office.
In the spring of 1946, Jack Price asked the “pretty little red-haired Bicknell girl” for a date. There was an instant attraction and they were together almost every day until mid-July when Jack left Cleburne to attend classes at the University of Houston.
On September 2 of that year, they were wed in a ceremony at La Monne’s parent’s home. The couple moved to Houston where they lived in a trailer in Vet Village. The marital knot was tied so securely that they not only survived Vet Village, but were a loving couple for 68 years until La Monne’s death.
La Monne loved her job as housewife and ‘yard person’. She loved to plant flowers and tend the yard. She was an exceptional gardener. In 1975, Jack became a woodcarver and this opened up a whole new world for the Price’s. They acquired new friends in all parts of the country. These carving friends became very important in their lives. Some became dear friends, as dear as family. When Jack retired, the couple moved back to Cleburne to live and enjoy family and friends.
Our beloved lady was a charmer. She was full of life, had a great sense of humor, and was always fun to be around. The friends she made were “forever friends”. Because of her, we, who loved her, laughed a lot more, cried a lot less and smiled much more often.
She made our world a happier place and left us with fond memories of the time we spent together. When asked to sum up her life in six words, she wrote: “Lived Simply, Laughed Often, Loved Deeply.” What a wonderful life she lived. We will miss her.
