She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and neighbor, and will be greatly missed by all who had the joy of knowing her.
Survivors include her husband, Leo Revis, of Guthrie; one daughter, Carolyn Lindgren; two grandsons, Daniel and wife Mandy Lindgren and David and wife Rachel Lindgren, all of Sulphur, La.; six great-grandchildren, Logan, Jared, Laura Leigh, Brooke, Kamber and Payton, who were the joy of her life; two sisters, Lois Miller and Ruby Gibson, and one brother, Bill Owen, all of Guthrie; and a host of nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors.
