I wasn’t fortunate to personally meet Louise but I know her daughter Bonnie and the way she would talk about her mother was so very special. You can tell they shared a bond so strong. A woman i will always remember for putting up such a fight and keeping her head held high through it all. May she watch over and be her family’s forever guardian angel ?
A dear classmate from Susquenita who will be missed by many. Fly high , Louise. Love you❤️
Louise was a coworker at Susquenita Elementary and was always so pleasant and helpful. I am so sad to hear of her passing
Always my best friend – Forever my mom.
I love you more.
