Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 26, 2017.

Louis A. Bariola, 85, of Chandler, AZ, peacefully passed away in Mesa, Arizona on December 23, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Bonnie, one daughter, Karen Gieske, son-in-law Glen Gieske, and four grandchildren, Ann Gieske, Kathy Gieske, Alan Gieske, and Katie Bariola.

Smith, AR, Beth White and Louise Farris of Lake Village, AR and Mary McKeown of Wilmar, AR and two brothers, Tony Bariola of Lake Village, AR and Julius Bariola, Jr. of Lake Providence, LA.


Louis graduated from Lake Village, AR High School in 1950 as Valedictorian of his class. He received his Bachelor and Masters Degrees at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, in 1962 and his PhD in Entomology from Texas A&M University in 1969. He worked as a Research Entomologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture until his retirement in 1989. His favorite past time was spending time with his Grandchildren with whom he and his wife Bonnie traveled extensively. He was also an avid golfer.

Louis was a very good and dedicated person. Him and Bonnie were always such a kind and loving Aunt and Uncle to my daughters Kami and Tonya Tullis. Even took them on vacations with them several times. Louis or Bonnie would make the long drive to come pick them up and deliver them back home safely. I will always remember that very fondly. Bonnie and family please know you are in my thoughts and Prayers. Louis may you rest in peace.
