Louise was our family historian and record keeper. She never forgot a birthday and always remembered to include a piece of candy or money in every child’s card. She enjoyed traveling, dancing, playing Mexican Train and spending time at her “cabin” in Reedville. For over 20 years, she worked as the office administrator for Ron and Britta/Aflac Insurance and was the only person that could read Britta’s handwriting! She was a long-time member of Chester Baptist Church and Oak Forest Baptist Church. The family would like to thank the staff of the Memory Center for their exceptional care for the last 2 ½ years.
