Louie Daniel Pelzer, 88, passed away at his home in Cement, Oklahoma on February 29, 2024 after a short time in the hospital.
Louie was born to Gustaf John and Martha Susie Pelzer on November 21, 1935 in the Verden, Oklahoma area. He was raised on the family farm South of Verden. He was the youngest of 9 children. He graduated from Verden High School.
He was in the military from May 12, 1958 to April 17, 1961. Louie served in the Army while stationed in Chicago where he assembled guided missiles.
Louie was married and had two children, Anthony Lee Pelzer (deceased at 39) and a daughter of Cement, Oklahoma. In 1971, he and his family moved back to the Verden family farm for a few years.
Some of his jobs were hauling hay, working for Donald Robertson and then at a feed lot in Chattanooga, Oklahoma. He bought and managed a gas station South of Apache, Oklahoma. Training at the Oklahoma City Electrical School, Louie began working for the IBEW Local Union 1141 in 1978 until he was 62. His electrical skills were used on the construction of the General Motors Building in Oklahoma City and many other electrical jobs through the years. He was a hard worker. Louie loved to hunt, fish and be outdoors. He was active and always repairing something or helping someone.
He was married to Wreta O'hern and lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They loved raising Schnauzer puppies. Louie was an excellent caregiver when Wreta became ill. He had a friend on a farm in nearby Bixby, Oklahoma where he enjoyed working on vehicles and tractors in his friend's barn.
His last 20 years in Cement, he spent time with his best friend Denny Cowan at Gas 'n Go in Cement. They would go to the casino, then he played cards with his sister, Ruth, and his niece. He also visited with his long time friend Betty Barron of Chickasha, Oklahoma and saw her daily when she went into the nursing home.
