William Autrey Obituary
Roger was born on December 5th, 1935, in Hugo, Oklahoma to William Cecil and Anna Sue Autrey. Throughout his life, he lived with faith, devotion, seeking to serve God and others through teaching, coaching and preaching.
A faithful member of the Cave Springs church of Christ, Roger found strength and comfort in prayer, scripture, worship and his church family. He will be remembered for his love for family and unwavering faith in God.
Roger is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Sharon Kay Autrey; children Wes Autrey (Teri), Andra Lahr (Mark), LeAna Kelshaw (Julian); grandchildren Rachel Autrey, Natalie King (Tyler), Sarah Autrey, Dalton Lahr; great granddaughter, Reagan; brother Wendell Autrey and many other nieces and nephews. Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil and Sue Autrey, his brother, Harmon Autrey and sister Ermo Jean Autrey.
We rejoice in Roger's victory over death knowing he is in Paradise.
