Louie Kathryn Remmel, 100, longtime prominent resident of Guymon, OK, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2019 in Kerrville, TX.

Louie married Charles H. Remmel September 6, 1938 at Wichita, KS where they made their home until returning to Guymon in 1945. Louie and Charles were business owners and had farming and ranching interests in the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles.  They raised their family and were active in church and community.  Louie was a lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church, Guymon, where she volunteered in many capacities.  She was a salty and avid bridge player, enjoyed playing with her lifetime friends, but never minded beating them.  Louie and Charles loved to travel and they made wonderful memories of each place they visited. Charles passed away in 1988.   Louie was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was a talented artist.  Louie enjoyed life with a sense of fun and adventure.  She was blessed to enjoy and celebrate her 100th birthday with family and friends.  What a life!
