Elouise graduated from Cushing High School in 1966 and was still very active with her classmates. Elouise was in a gospel singing quartet, enjoyed collecting antiques, and singing karaoke with her friends. Elouise always wanted to be remembered as someone who loved people, as a cheerful giver, and for her never-doubting faith in God.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond “Shorty” and Lavada Strickland; husband, Danny Tarbet; and sister-in-law, Lanell Tarbet.

Elouise is survived by her children, Wade Tarbet of Frisco, Danese Griffith and husband Clint of Denton, and Amanda Tarbet of Kilgore. She is also survived by cherished first cousins, her sweet Sugar Babies, and many other family members and friends.
