Louisa believed in “family first,” weekly church attendance (even on vacation), and hard work ethic, which she instilled in her children. She was proud of her immaculate housekeeping skills and loved to entertain in their home. “Bob and Louise” (synopsis to each other) worked hard and they also rewarded themselves with the things they enjoyed the most- bowling, playing cards and golfing with friends. Louise was proud to be a “Winter Texan.”
Louise was the embodiment of kindness and hospitalities. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her beautiful nurturing spirit garnered affection from all who knew her. Her faith in God kept Louise unafraid, as she knew she would be reunited with all of her family once again.
