ENID — Funeral service for Carl Settle will be 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011, at Anderson - Burris Funeral Home with Rev. Lester Lowry and Rev. Richard Fleig officiating. Burial will be in Carmen Cemetery.

Carl Cleo (Freck) Settle was born to Jesse Franklin and Ida Pearl McCause Settle in Gracemont, Okla., on June 15, 1929. He was the 10th of 13 children and passed from this world Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, at the age of 82.

Carl grew up on a farm north of Gracemont.

He joined the United States Army at the age of 17 on Dec. 12, 1946. He was assigned to the 22nd Constabulary Squadron Troop C (also known as the Lightning Cowboys). He was honorably discharged from active service on May 1, 1948, and was then placed on active reserve status on July 6, 1948. On Sept. 21, 1950, he was reactivated and sent to Korea with the 728th Military Police Battalion Company D. He was again discharged from active service on Sept. 8, 1951, but remained on reserve status until May 1, 1952.

On Dec. 24, 1951, he literally married "the girl next door," whom he had known since the 6th grade. Her name was Carol Maxine White. Little did they know what awaited them in life.

Carl was a member of Carmen Assembly of God Church until moving to Enid. He then became a member of Evangel Assembly of God Church.

Carl was an avid hunter and fisherman. He spent many happy times deer hunting with family and friends. I'm sure there are many of you here today that can tell stories about spending time with Carl hunting.

Carl enjoyed playing cards and riding his golf cart up to the Co-op Station to visit (or pester) the employees. He enjoyed getting behind the wheel of that pick-up and driving to South Texas in the winter and South Fork, Colo., in the summer. He loved fishing for those trout, and eating them.

Carl was preceded in death by his father, mother, 12 brothers and sisters, and his beloved son, Paul. Carl is going to get a big surprise when he reaches heaven as he never knew his baby sister Shirley beat him home on Nov. 5, 2011, after a battle with cancer.

Survivors include his wife, Carol of the home ; sons, Daniel Settle of Eufaula, Okla., Larry and Debbie Settle of Kingfisher and Troy and Tessa Settle of Windsor, Colo.; daughters, Becky and Jonny Guffy of Byron, Okla., and Betsy and Troy Hormel of Enid, Okla.; daughter-in-law, Debbie Settle of Mustang, Okla.; and his long time friend and Army buddy, Warren and Louise Childers of Dumond Springs, Calif. Also surviving are 13 granddaughters; one grandson; 16 great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Memorial contributions may be made to Evangel Assembly of God Church.
