Burial will follow at the Alfalfa Cemetery, under the direction of Lockstone Funeral Home.

Louise was born South of Eakly to Bill and Thelma Yearwood. Louise was raised alongside her older brother Glenn on the farm, this is where her country roots or legacy all began.

Louise was raised during the great depression in which we believe instilled some of her greatest qualities, a deeply rooted faith, a love bigger than the ocean, her value for life and a work ethic that was unbeatable.

Richard Humbargar couldn’t help but notice these qualities himself and did his best at sweeping her off her feet, accomplishing his goal by marrying the love of his life on November 5th 1949.

Richard and Louise immediately began growing their family raising their 3 children Ann, Vaughn and Terry on the farm just as they had both been raised. Louise and her husband worked side by side whether it be in the peanut field, moving irrigation, working cattle, or raising piglets.

Over the years, Louise had perfected many skills like making the best chocolate cream pie, some might even say the best in Washita County. She could sew just about anything but her favorite little sewing hobby was making baby blankets for her grandchildren.

Louise had a green thumb, she could grow a garden that was vibrant and delicious, just ask anyone who has ever eaten her friend okra but, her most valuable asset to us all was her servant’s heart. Loise loved serving the Lord which just poured out into this world by serving so many family and friends in her lifetime.

Louise, Weezie, Aunt, Granny, Granny Loupy, Mom or Momma. She had so many names because she was loved by so many, her welcoming spirit, eagerness to serve and her ginormous heart made it so easy.

These characteristics are exactly why she was entrusted by the parents of the Colony Baptist Church where she was an active member teaching the youth.Louise had a special place in her heart for children and that’s how she slipped into the role of serving the youth of CBC teaching nearly every summer at VBS and Sunday school every Sunday clear up into her early 80s when her health no longer allowed.

Louise rarely missed a Sunday and was willing to help the church whenever and wherever she was needed. This also lead to working alongside the pastor’s wife, Bell in the local cafe for many years.

Louise has left this earth but her legacy of love and faith will live on forever.

Louise is survived by her two sons, Vaughn Humbargar and his wife, Pam of Kilgore, TX., Terry Humbargar of Colony, OK; one daughter, Ann Frazier and her husband, Jackie of Fairview, OK; three grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren, and a whole host of family and friends.
