Audra was born on October 10, 1944, in Texarkana, AR, to the late James Calhoun and Exa (Turnage) Calhoun. Audra was of Christian faith, and she had a passion for serving God that shaped her entire life. She was a minister, and the wife of a minister, having met the love of her life, Dwayne H. Stott, Sr. while she was still a senior attending Fair Park High School in Shreveport, LA. Together they ministered in the name of Jesus for more than 60 years. Audra attended worship at both Southside Assembly of God and Living Waters. She served the Lord in ministry but she also served by fulfilling her God-given role as a wife, mother, and "Nana". Above any hobby she may have had, she was most happy when she was with her family. Audra will be deeply missed and her memory forever cherished by those who were blessed to know and love her.
