Sarah Louise Thompson's Obituary
Sarah Louise Mccuistion Hudson Thompson was born on December 4th, 1924, to John Thomas Mccuistion and Elizabeth Latch Mccuistion. Louise left this world on January 14, 2018. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother John Dale Mccuistion, husband Charles Thompson, and son, John Robert Hudson. Louise graduated from Broken Arrow High School in 1942, and entered Northeastern State college in Tahlequah. After two years at Northeastern, she returned to Broken Arrow to teach public school, due to a teacher shortage there. Louise taught music and social studies, and was the cheerleader sponsor. In 1955, Louise began working in the business community. She was employed at Braden Winch, American Airlines, First Baptist Church in Broken Arrow, and First National Bank in Broken Arrow. Louise returned to college to finish her undergraduate degree, and then went on, in 1966, to get a Master’s degree. Louise taught business for one year at Mclain High School in Tulsa. She then returned to Northeastern to teach accounting until 1972. Louise moved to Springfield, Missouri, to begin teaching at Southwest Missouri State University. She retired from the university in December, 1987. On January 1’1, 1988, Louise married Charles Thompson and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Being natives of Oklahoma, Louise and Charles moved back to be closer to family in the late 90’s, making their home in Owasso. Louise and her family loved vacations to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Nana, as the children called her, enjoyed fishing, bicycling and riding horses with her family. Once, Nana didn’t follow the rules given for horseback riding, and almost got trampled by her horse! Ending the evenings by sitting around the campfire was a favorite activity of the entire family.Louise is survived by her two children: Charles Hudson and Necia Hudson, both of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She is also survived by her four grandchildren: Heather and (Kyle) Stauffer of Broken Arrow; Jenny and (Jerrod) Petty, of Inola; Sara and (Doug) Clark ofTulsa, and Mike Hudson of Kansas. Louise is also survived by nine great-grandchildren. It is always difficult to let go of a loved one, but we know that Nana is now rejoicing with those who have gone before her.
