S. Louise Algee Garcia
1902-2000
S. Louise Algee died on Monday, Nov. 27, 2000 at 98 years of age.
She was born on April 10, 1902 in Sioux City, Iowa to Lula Emma Young and William Edward Algee.
She is predeceased by her sisters, Marion Algee and Alice Harding; and her brothers Alvin and Edward Algee.
She is survived by her son, Leon Garcia Sr.; great-great-nephew, Daniel D. Williams; gradchildren, Dolores, L. Mitchell, Rosalind and Leon Garcia Jr.; niece, Barbara Algee Snipes; nephew Gene Algee; great-nieces, Madeline Grant, Susan Graham and Kathy Snipes; great-nephews, John, William and David Snipes; and former husband, Henry A. Garcia.
Louise was the first African-American woman to graduate from the Mayo Clinic School of Nursing in Rochester, Minn. She also obtained her master's degree in nursing from Ohio State University. In keeping with the ideals of nursing, she dedicated her life to the health and well being of, not only her patients, but everyone with whom she came into contact.
As a nurse, Louise worked in Minnesota, New York and Ohio. Her assignments in Ohio included head nurse in the emergency room at Springfield Hospital and night nursing supervisor at Greene Memorial Hospital.
As an associate professor at Wilberforce University/Central State University in the Health Education and Recreation Department, Louise was well known for her course entitled "Personal, Community Health and Hygiene." In her later years, she worked at the Greene County Commission on Aging, where she remained a staunch advocate for the aged until her death.
As a long-time active member of the Wilberforce community, Louise was involved innumerous organizations and activities such as: Co-leader of the initiative to install street lights in Wilberforce, Louise always opened her house and heart to the children of the community. She was affectionately known as Grandma Garcia. At the age of 85, Louise joyfully took on the responsibility of raising her great-great-nephew, Daniel from age eight to adulthood.
In continuing with her dedication and service to others, Louise generously donated her body to the Wright State University School of Medicine, where even in death she continues to educate.
Just as Louise brought (street) lights to the Wilberforce community in the 1940's, she had been and will remain a beacon of light to many.
A memorial service is being planned by the family and will be held at a later date.
