Effie G. Outhier passed away in her Enid, Oklahoma, home on June 15, 2020, at age 91.

Effie was born August 6, 1928, in Enid to George and Helen (Kanellakos) Hronopulos. After graduating with the Enid High School Class of 1946, Effie attended Phillips University. On July 31, 1949, she married Paul J Outhier at her parents’ Enid home.
-
Family and friends remember her as bright, outgoing, supportive, and endlessly inquisitive. An avid reader, she loved immersing herself in novels - the longer, the better. She had a deep appreciation for the arts, especially music, and religiously attended Enid Symphony Orchestra performances. Always eager to expand her knowledge, she regularly participated in Lifelong Learning and Chautauqua in the Park. Effie was a member of Enid’s First United Methodist Church.

Part of a large and loving extended family, she also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, as well as many friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be given to Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center (Chautauqua), the Enid Symphony Association or the charity of one’s choice with Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home acting as custodian of the funds.

    Dennis and I are so sorry to know Effie passed away. She had a beautifully humorous and gracious personality. We enjoyed having Effie and Paul as our neighbors for several years. She will surely be missed by her family and friends. May God give you comfort at this time of sorrow.

    Dennis and Linda Sawyers
