Dr. Lily Stoppleworth, B.A., M.A., M.Ed., Ed.D. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Dr. Lily Stoppleworth, age 35, of Ruston, La. will be held on Sunday, December 10, 2006 at 2:00 P.M. in the chapel of Kilpatrick Funeral Home in Ruston, La. Lily was born on May 24, 1971 in El Dorado, Arkansas and passed away on December 7, 2006 in Shreveport, La. following injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She grew up in Spearsville, La. Lily was a loving and beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and teacher who spent countless hours in service to others. She was generous with, and fiercely protective of, those she loved ØÇø_ and each loved one knew how she felt about them because she communicated it so often and in so many ways. Lily was the rare soul who lived life in the moment and de-emphasized the material things. She had a true talent for finding beauty in the unlikeliest of places and people. While Lily didnØÇø_t retain material possessions for herself, she adored finding ØÇø_treasuresØÇø_ and was addicted to garage sales and Ebay. She delighted in locating a 10 cent item and re-selling it for a dollar. As a teacher, Lily believed that character education was vital and sought everyday to remind students of their potential. While she received recognition for her achievements in character education, Lily wanted to do so much more and had planned a book on the subject.
