YOHE, LOVELLA M. STOGSDILL 
Lovella M. Stogsdill Yohe, 74, of Indianapolis went to be with her Lord on
Sunday, April 1, 2007, at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, Tenn. Lovella
loved her church and the work of her Lord. She and her husband were
co-founders of the Lighthouse Ranch for Boys in Loranger in 1970. They took
in, cared for and raised more than 6,500 boys since it began, one of whom
is now the director of the ranch and loved as their own. She was also very
proud of the 32 countries she visited with missions over her lifetime. Part
of her work included founding The Great Plains District of the United
Pentecostal Church. Lovella also loved to praise God with her voice and, at
one time, turned down a recording offer with RCA. In her travels, she liked
to collect dolls and share them with her family and friends. She was a true
worker for Christ and for her family. She will be dearly missed by the
many, many lives she touched and changed. Visitation at First Pentecostal
Church, Denham Springs, on Wednesday, April 4, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and
Thursday from 10 a.m. until service at 11 a.m., officiated by the Rev. T.F.
Tenney and the Rev. Ray Johnson. Burial in Loranger Cemetery, Loranger, at
2 p.m. Survived by her three daughters, Sherri Yohe Boggs, Terri Yohe
Huffman and husband Steve, and Vicki Yohe Hodges and husband Troy;
grandchildren, Gina, Josh, Lovella, Houston, Ryan, Lindsay, Courtney, Kaley
and Walker; great-grandchildren, Alexander, Gracie, Jacelyn, Cade, Jameson,
