And that is why her loved ones called her sweet Louise. She was a lifelong member of the Walnut Hill Baptist Church, which was her true home no matter where she roamed. Louise loved tending the church nursery, which was her true joy. She was truly a fine lady that could rock her pearls, had a great sense of humor, and was a good sport. Just knowing her made you want to be a better person, a little more patience, and a little more kind. That made her the very definition of a lady.
