Louise was a beautiful person. She always hugged me and made me feel like I was one of of her kids. Sending prayers to all the family.
One of the greatest Women, I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She was Aunt Louise to me, but she was so much more! She was a Great: Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Mentor, Voice of Reason, Best Friend, etc… She was blunt and strongminded. She could make you laugh, and/or possibly make you cry.. But it was always from a place of Love. She would not sugarcoat, but tell it like it is… Had a Heart of Gold.
***Most Importantly: She was Proud of her Children! And she love them Grandbabies (and great grands) more than anything… This World will not be the same.
Love you Aunt Louise,
J.D.
Louise was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family
Louise was loved by so many, such a sweet & caring person. She loved her family & her church family. Such a beautiful Christian lady & we will all miss her at Bethel. Sorry we won’t be in town to say our goodbyes, but will be praying for her loved ones during this difficult time. Love you guys
I’m so sorry to hear about Ms. Louise. The last week of my life has been so chaotic that I didn’t even know this happened. She was such a nice lady and will be missed. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
WOW!!! What an AWESOME lady!!! You know there is a lot that many people could say about her kindness, her laughter, the lives she touched, the love she shared, and the joy she brought to so many.
In the short few years that I’ve been fortunate enough to know this beautiful lady of God’s own heart, I came to realize that she was something very unique and special.
How many of you reading this knew that there is a story about Louise that has been published in an all time leading #1 selling book of all time?
That’s right. If you look in the bible, and read God’s inspired word, you will find the story of Louise that is written in Proverbs chapter 31, verses 10-31. It’s the story of a virtuous woman.
Enjoy God’s description of Louise.
I can not tell you how long I have known this woman. She was the sister that I wanted and needed. She keep me straight on my track thru life. I am very hard headed but she could talk me out of doing stupid things. I cannot say how much I loved her. She will forever live in my heart.
Such a beautiful soul who loved life, her family and always asked about others. Her kind heart and sweet spirit was infectious. I loved visiting with her and listening to her plans for a trip or how her family was doing. I will miss her. May the Lord bless you all with strength and courage as you grieve her loss and bring peace and healing to your hearts.
I’m so sad to hear this. Louise was a joy to work around. I used to tell her I wanted to be like her when I grew up because she loved to just go and would go, even if it was alone. Such as sweet, caring, funny but will set you straight soul. She will truly be missed and never forgotten.
