Above all, Louise was a home maker for her family. For several years, she served along with Aubrey, as a Pastor’s wife. She played the piano, the accordion and sang in churches, as well as campmeetings. Most recently, she played and sang for her own enjoyment. In recent years, Louise was a faithful member of Believers Fellowship Church, but more importantly, she loved the Lord with all her heart.
In addition, stitch work became her passion. Her kids, grands, doctors, nurses and countless friends received embroidery gifts. If she could have taken one of her projects with her, no doubt, she would have presented one to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
