Ursula L. Pohl

Ursula LaQuita Pohl, or "Sula" as she was known to family and friends, left this world on September 16, 2006. Sula is the daughter of Hershel and Grace Smith, and the mother of daughters Cathy, Teresa, and Susan. Born in Magnum, Oklahoma on January 3, 1933, she grew up in Lindsay and graduated from Lindsay High School in 1952. While attending Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha, Sula met C. W. O. Robert Fred Pohl "Bob", a career Army Officer. They were married in 1953. Bob?s military career took the couple on several foreign tours before his state-side assignment to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1961, Bob died in a helicopter crash, leaving Sula to care for their three daughters. Sula returned to Lindsay with her daughters to work with her parents at the Lindsay News. Several years later when the Shopper News Note was established in Lindsay, Sula was responsible for composition on that publication. Sula retired in the late 1980?s. Failing health caused her to be mostly confined to her home in Lindsay where her family and a number of wonderful friends and neighbors assisted her. Despite the hardships of single parenthood, Sula successfully raised her family with great personal strength and an unwavering faith in God. Her daughter Cathy, with husband David, lives in Highland Village, Texas. Teresa with her husband Keith lives in Moore, Oklahoma and Susan with her husband Dale lives in Edmond, Oklahoma. Other surviving family includes six grandchildren, Krista Reimer, Melissa Perez, Robert Austian, Jennifer Blue, April Essary, and Brad Broomfield; as well as four great-grandchildren, Taylor Reimer, Caitlin Reimer, Destiny Essary and Austin Blue. Sula has two surviving brothers. Gary and his wife Harriet live in Lindsay, as does their daughter Holly with her husband William. Lanny and his wife Phyllis, their two sons, Kerry and Mark with their wives, Charee and Kelli respectively, and their daughter Dristin live in the Texas panhandle area. Robert Pohl?s remains were re-interred to Green Hill Cemetery, north of Lindsay, in July 2005. Sula will be buried next to her husband. Services for Ursula will be on Tuesday September 19, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of Christ, Hwy 19 in Lindsay, Oklahoma.
