Earl Woodrow Seigrist, age 79, of Hollis, went home to be
with his Lord, Tuesday evening, May 8, 2012, from Norman
Specialty Hospital, in Norman. He said, I fought the good fight,
I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Earl was born in Vian, Oklahoma, on September 17, 1932, to
Curt and Eleanor Rowena (Vaughn) Seigrist. At age five, the
family moved to Clinton and later to Elk City. At age seventeen,
Earl began his ministry with the Church of Christ, and as an
evangelist he traveled from coast to coast preaching the gospel,
telling all who would listen that Jesus loves them. Moving to
Oklahoma City, he married the love of his life, Chiquita
Jenkins, on April 5, 1964, in Clinton, Oklahoma. Through the
years, Earl preached at the Park Lane Church of Christ, in
Lawton, at the Martin Church of Christ, South of Hollis, the
Dodson Church of Christ, in Dodson, Texas. As opportunities
arose he preached in many other congregations. He preached
Easter Service at the Parklane Church of Christ in Lawton in
1950 and again 60 years later in 2010. Earl began working in the
maintenance department of Hollis High School in 1978 and retired
in 2000. He also became the voice of "The Hollis Tigers" at
football games. He made it a point to announce the
accomplishments of all the players, with enthusiasm, because
each player deserved to have their name announced for all to
hear. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed announcing
anniversaries, special events, and birth days during a lull in
the game. He said for a quarter he would tell how old a person
was and for another quarter how much the person weighed.
Preceding him to Heaven are Curt, Eleanor, one sister Louise
Radke, and 2 grandsons Ethan and Joshua Seigrist.
Surviving
family include his wife Chiquita of the home, two sons Andrew Seigrist and his wife Angela of El Maton TX, David Seigrist and
his wife Chuleeporn of Hollis; one daughter Angela Cunningham
and her husband Jeff of Hollis. Eight grandchildren, Adam
Seigrist, Nathan Seigrist, Caitlin Seigrist, Alexander Seigrist,
Wuthiphat Thawinitkul, Methaphon Thawinitkul, Desire' Hill, and
Larren Hill; one sister, Polly Lacy of Clinton, Oklahoma; his
step mother Jewel of Sayre, who brought Earl to Christ, five
brothers, Charles Seigrist and wife Carol of Georgia, Milton
Seigrist of Kansas, Gary Seigrist and wife Ann of Elk City,
Larry Seigrist and wife Debbie of Sayre, Donnie Marshall and
wife Chris of Texas, and many beloved nieces, nephews, and
friends.

Saturday, May 12, 2012, at the Hollis Church of Christ with
