She was the widow of Hollis Locke, a housewife, retired store clerk and a member of the Pauline Missionary Baptist Church. She was also a member of the Bastrop Ladies Auxiliary, taught Sunday School for many years and was a very devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. Anytime there was a revival or a minister visiting her church, she would always let them stay at her house where she could cook for them. She loved to sing and play the piano by ear. She was everyone's mother and never had a bad word to say about anyone. She was also a very positive person and loved everyone as everyone loved her in return.
Survivors include two daughters, Dolores Michel of Marksville, LA and Carol Sue Wallace White and husband Darrell of Monticello; five grandchildren Clara Casey and husband Danny, Mary Anne Ducote and husband Michael, Robert Wallace and wife Dee Ann, Russell Wallace and wife Kacie, Rhonda Huffman and husband Brad; thirteen great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

Fort Smith, AR Saturday, June 25, 2011 There are some people that you meet and never forget and Ms. Locke was one of those people. I met her in 1951 in Bastrop when Harold became pastor of the church she attended. What a blessing she, Mr. Locke, and Carol Sue were to a young minister and wife! I am so grateful that our paths crossed many years ago and because of her guidance, teaching, and example, I am a better person. Carol Sue and family, know that your loved one's legacy can continue through you as you exhibit the qualities that made her special and honor her Master. May God's Spirit comfort you. You are loved.
