Louise was known as a great cook who loved cooking big meals and feeding visiting family and guests. She was an avid reader and always had a book in her hand, especially when she would retire for the evening. The joys of her life were her kids, grandkids and especially, her great grandkids.
Per her request, she will be cremated and laid to rest in the family cemetery in North Carolina. She also requested that there not be a visitation or service, but a celebration luncheon to be held at a future date.
