Biography:
Joe Stringer Mourot, 93, died March 19, 2023. He was predeceased by his wife of 71 years, Louise Gray Mourot.
Born in Morrilton on April 19, 1929, to Joe and Sadie Mourot, he was the youngest of eight children. He grew up on the family farm in Toltec, AR. Mourot served in the U.S. military until honorably discharged in July 1949 to run the family farm. He owned several insurance companies before buying the eyeglass laboratory Oden Optical in 1971. The company became River City Optics, which he managed until his first retirement. After the optical business, Joe became a manufactured home dealer and developed a subdivision near Toltec. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and tinkering at his farm.
He is survived by his son Jon Etienne Mourot and husband Kyle Boswell; son Randy Mourot and wife Karen Mourot; grandchildren McKenzie Murphy and husband Patrick Murphy, Jack Mourot, Anderson Mourot, and Margaux Mourot; great-grandchildren Sawyer Murphy, Sutton Murphy, and Sullivan Murphy. He is also survived by his sister Wanda Weise and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A debt of gratitude and thanks to Joe’s caregivers that made his life as comfortable as possible, Brittney Latina with Visiting Angels, Leslie Alston with Home Hospice Care and Charlotte Butler-Rice, along with all of the caregivers from Charlotte’s Home Care.
The burial service will be private. Online guestbook may be signed at RuebelFuneralHome.com

Our prayers for the family on Joe’s passing. He was ever an optimist and always fun to visit with. After our business discussions there was always updates on grandchildren and great-grands. He was so proud of all of you.
