Luther George Littrell

Luther George Littrell, affectionately known as "Luke," passed away peacefully on December 1, 2025, in Bonham, Texas. Born on April 30, 1926, in Marlow, Oklahoma, Luke lived a full and rewarding life, which he dedicated to family, work, and his community. Luke's goal was to make it to 100 years old and came close at 99.5. The half was very important to him. Arrangements are under the direction of Wise Funeral Home in Bonham. 

Luke's professional journey began as a machinist and welder, culminating in his retirement from Fiberite in Greenville, Texas, in 1993. His skills and dedication to his craft were matched only by his willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need. Luke was a problem solver at heart, known for his ability to repair anything, a talent that endeared him to those around him.

Having grown up in a large family, with eight brothers and three sisters, Luke learned the values of hard work and resilience early in life. As a young boy, he labored on the family farm, nurturing a lifelong love for raising livestock and caring for animals. This connection to rural life not only shaped his work ethic but also instilled a deep appreciation for nature and family bonds.

Luke’s service to his country during World War II is a testament to his character. He proudly served in the Army Airforce in the Philippines, an experience that further cultivated his sense of duty and commitment to his community.

He is survived by his son, David Littrell and his wife Gale, along with his daughter, Jean Littrell. Luke cherished his family dearly and often spoke of their importance in his life.

Luke is predeceased by his beloved wife, Inez Littrell, and his son, Mike Littrell. He also mourns the loss of his parents, C.R. and Wilma Littrell, as well as his brothers Bill, Pete, Junior, Donald Littrell, and his sister Jackie Littrell. His legacy includes his cherished granddaughter, Shawn Eaton, and grandsons Jeremy Littrell and wife Gina, Clint Littrell, A.J Littrell, and Kevin Littrell. His great grandchildren, Jack Littrell, Brooke Phillips, Charlie Littrell, Audrey Littrell, and Natasha Littrell, are a source of pride and joy in his family's lives.

Luke will also be missed by his sisters, Ruby Eaton and her husband Craig, and Geraldine Cross, as well as his brother, Melvin Littrell and his wife Mary. He leaves behind sisters-in-law Dorothy Littrell and Kathy Littrell, numerous nieces, nephews, and special family friends who will remember him fondly.

A visitation for Luther George Littrell will be held on December 6, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by a funeral service from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Wise Funeral Home located at 219 W Sam Rayburn Dr, Bonham, Texas.

Luther George Littrell’s life was a rich tapestry woven from love, hard work, and dedication. He will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
