Louella “Lou” Gray departed this life on Thursday, October 9, 2014 at OU Medical Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at the age of 74. Lou was born on December 13, 1939 in Sebastian County, Arkansas to Lawrence Dawson and Frankie Matilda (Griffith) Autry. She was only girl with four brothers. Lou met the love of her life, Tommy Gray, while he was in the U. S. Army stationed at Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, near Ft. Smith. She would often say, “When Tommy walked into the room, the room lit up!” She and Tommy were married on August 9, 1962 in Poteau, Oklahoma. They were blessed with a daughter, Cheryl.
Lou was best known for working at Eubank’s Clothing Store, where she worked for more than 20 years. Because Lou was an excellent seamstress, she was first hired to do alterations. Later, Lou became the bookkeeper and clerk for the store. She was a dependable and dedicated worker. After Eubank’s closed, she worked at Tabor’s Home Medical for many years. Lou’s world also consisted of helping Tommy on the farm, working cattle, doing the yard work, whatever was needed. She also loved to travel. When Tommy needed to go on trips for the REC Board, Lou was always ready to go. Lou’s other pastimes included bowling, cooking, playing the piano and playing games on the computer. Lou was an active member of the Eastern Star, and a past Worthy Matron. She was also a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
Many people have said, “Lou loved people and people loved Lou. She will be greatly missed.”
Lou is survived by her husband Tommy; daughter Cheryl and Ray of Norman, Oklahoma; one granddaughter Juliana of Norman, Oklahoma; two brothers: Lawrence Autry and Eva of Albuquerque, New Mexico; Gayle Autry of Ft. Smith, Arkansas; one sister-in-law Johna Autry of Ft. Smith Arkansas and loving nieces and nephews.
Lou was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers: Milton Autry and Donald Autry; and sister-in-law Anne Autry.
Services will be held Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at Calvary Baptist Church, 410 W. Chickasaw, Lindsay, Oklahoma at two o’clock P.M. Interment will follow at Green Hill Cemetery in Lindsay. Services are under the direction of B.G. Boydston Funeral Home of Lindsay, Oklahoma.
