Bernice Lorene Shaw (also known as B. L. "Buddy" Shaw; September 6, 1933 – January 18, 2018),[1] was a Louisiana educator and politician who served in the Louisiana State Senate.
Shaw died early in 2018 at the age of eighty-four, and was interred at Providence Cemetery in Ringgold, Louisiana.
Caddo Parish School Superintendent T. Lamar Goree described Shaw as "undoubtedly a legend in our district and a man who set C. E. Byrd apart from the crowd. He was a career educator who loved the students of this district and spent his life in service to the community. ... his legacy will long be remembered."[2]
