Emma Lou retired in 1988 from the University of Oklahoma where she was administrative secretary to the Provost at OCCE.  She loved her time at home spent gardening, reading, and caring for her family.  She was a devout Baptist and enjoyed her long-time friendships in her church families.  Emma Lou was happiest when surrounded by all of her children and grandchildren in her home.  She was an excellent cook and prepared everyone’s favorite dishes.  Many, many good times were had in her home on Virginia St. 

Her family would like to thank the staff of Tuscany Village Nursing Center and Centennial Hospice for their care and support.
