Margaret Louise Yeager, age 89, of Harrison, went home to be with God, Monday, Feb. 8 (2016).  

She was born Feb. 12, 1926, in Siloam Springs, the daughter of Elmer and Margaret (Bowling) Thompson.  

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Andy Yeager; and her brother, Ervin Thompson.   

Louise was a long time member of First Baptist Church in Harrison. She met Andy Yeager when she was only 15 and they married that same year, Sept. 17, 1941. They were soul mates from the time they met until Andy’s death March 3, 2015. He was the love of her life and she was his until his passing.  

Louise was a loving mother and a great shopping buddy. She was never afraid to speak her mind, kept Andy in line and if she liked you, she liked you. While not directly involved in Andy’s businesses, she helped in the sale barn in the 1940s and their furniture store in the 1970s. She enjoyed caring for her home and decorating. For years, she and Andy went dancing and made many dancing friends. Among their travels, they visited every state except Alaska.  

Louise is survived by her son, Terry Yeager and his wife LeBeta, of Harrison; her daughter, Sherry Roberts and her husband Ronnie, of Harrison; four granddaughters, Stephny Yeager and her fiancé Rodger Martin, of Little Rock, Stacey and her husband Glenn Wheeler, of Harrison, Beth and her husband Carl Roberts, of Omaha, and Brandy and her husband Shannon Garvin, of Valley Springs; eight great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
