Obituary
Louie B. Pannell, age 89 of Eros, Arkansas passed away Monday January 22, 2018 in Harrison, Arkansas.
The son of Bridge and Bessie (Heath) Pannell was born on August 18, 1928 in Eros.
Louie was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. His constant smile and unselfish love are remembered by all who met him. Louie taught agriculture at Leslie, Bruno and Valley Springs and was very proud of his many FFA students and their state and national awards.
After retiring from teaching, Louie devoted more than 15 years to the care of his invalid wife.
He was seen often at area senior centers and enjoyed the activities at Silver Sneakers in Flippin. It was hard to find him at home because he was always out going somewhere, chauffeuring "the older ladies", going to music on the square or singing conventions and driving to retired teacher meetings.
He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed in Hawaii at the Hickman Air Force Base. He was a member of the Arkansas Cattlemen's Association, FFA Alumni, Farm Bureau, numerous area fair boards, the Retired Teachers Association, the Marion County Community Choir and a Deacon at Bruno Baptist Church
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Bootsie (Ussery) Pannell and a very special lady, Peggy.
He is survived by a son, Steven Pannell and wife Maryan of Osage, Arkansas; a daughter, Lougina Tullis and husband Frank of Landrum, South Carolina; two sisters, Donna Blevins of Powell, Wyoming and Sue Mackey of St. Augustine, Texas; four grandchildren, William Travis Ewton and wife Meagan, Jamie Louis Ewton and fiancé Chelsea Murfree, Stephen Sumner and Rachel Everett and husband Joe; four great-grandchildren, Joclyn Ewton, Blake Sumner, Elexus Everett and Joni Everett; Linda, who he loved like a daughter and her husband Craig Robinson; Mike Ewton, who he loved like a son and many other family and friends who will mourn his passing.
Services will be held Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Coffman Funeral Home Chapel in Harrison with Brother Randy Brumley officiating. Burial will follow at Maplewood Cemetery. Visitation will be Friday evening from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Crossroads Community Church in Harrison.
Pallbearers include Jamie Ewton, Travis Ewton, Steven Sumner, Joe Everett, David Mackey, Richard Mackey, Mike Ewton and Earl Hamm. Honorary pallbearers include Don Johnson, Dr. Kenny Collins, Joe Swafford, Bill Hallenbeck, Paul Simmons, Blake Sumner, nephews, nieces, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Eros Community Center or Bruno Baptist Church.
