The Bakersfield Californian
Herndon, Loura W. "Lou"    
 
Loura (Lou) W. Herndon 
June 1, 1910 - January 14, 2006 

Lou Herndons life is to be celebrated on Friday, January 20, 2006, at 1:30 
p.m., in the Greenlawn Chapel, 3700 River Blvd. Visitation begins Thursday, 
January 19th, from 3:00 9:00 p.m. Lou was born in Cyrene, Missouri on June 1, 
1910 to Mabel and W.D. Worthington. Lou was one of eight siblings of which 
Jessie Magee of Eolia, Missouri is the last remaining. During 1931 Lou moved 
to California, met and married Bill Herndon and settled in Bakersfield where 
she lived for sixty-three years in a home they built. Bill Herndon passed away 
in 1973. Lou liked people and worked as a self-employed seamstress in her home 
from 1952 to the middle 1990s. Her interests centered around her family, many 
friends, and fellow church members at St. Marks United Methodist Church. If a 
person needed a friend, a meal, someone to talk to, or someone to cheer them 
on, Lou was the one to call. She spent untold hours assisting others and never 
met a person she didnt like. Her love for God, travel, and the Bible took her 
to most of the states and to foreign countries including the Holy Land. Lou 
and Bill Herndon have two sons, Jack Herndon, wife, Connie, and Russ Herndon, 
both of Bakersfield. They also enjoyed three grandchildren, Jeff Herndon, John 
Herndon, and Katie Delmore, all of Bakersfield; and four great-grandchildren, 
Derek and Dane Herndon and Ryan and Amy Delmore. Her extended family included 
many nieces, nephews, and many many friends. Lous family would like to express 
their appreciation for the care she received at Emmanuel San Joaquin, Skilled 
Nursing Facility during the past two years. In lieu of flowers, donations may 
be made to St. Marks United Methodist Church, 1510 McCray Street or a charity 
of your choice.
