Carl Hoeft Obituary
Frisco, TX - Carl Donald Hoeft, 85, formerly of Oil City, Louisiana, succumbed to cancer in the comfort of his home surrounded by his family on August 24, 2019.
Carl is survived by his loving wife, Jean, of 66 years, daughters Susan (Phillip) Medlin, of Frisco TX. and Lisa Landry, of Baton Rouge, La. ; two grandchildren, Carey Jenkins of Arvada, CO. and Kathryn Jenkins of New Orleans, LA.; his sister, Donna Kelly of Shreveport, along with several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his son, Don; his parents and his sister, Jane Player.
Carl was born July 24, 1934 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Ella Marie and Carl Edwin Hoeft. His early years were spent in St. Joseph, Missouri working as a caddy for many years, where his love of golf was born. He made lifelong friends in Missouri, before moving to Mooringsport in 1950, following the death of his father.
It was at Mooringsport High that Carl met the love of his life, Jean Ridge. Carl and Jean married in 1953, and shared many wonderful years together. Carl loved to travel, a joy he was happy to share with his family and friends. He and Jean took the family on many trips, and traveled the US and abroad after retirement. He was an avid fan of all things LSU, but especially football.
Carl was employed at Universal Oil Products in Blanchard for 40 years. He loved his job, and lifetime friendships were formed there.

I know how much you will miss Carl. He was a fine man and a great husband. You will live on memories now, but will get to the day when you can smile when you think of him. It takes a while.

2 Tim. 4:7 " I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
Now with your son, Don, Rest in Peace Carl!
I will always remember that constant smile on your face; and who can forget when you thought my name was Judy! I kidded you and quoted Cary Grant: " Judy, Judy, Judy" - which ironically is from his movie "Only Angels Have Wings." You've earned your Wings!
We will see you one day on the other side. Save me a seat! Love, Peggy Hardy Boone
