Louise was a wonderful cook. Her whole wheat cinnamon rolls were legendary. She created many beautiful quilts and was an excellent seamstress. She worked alongside Lewis on their dairy farm for 45 years. During this time, she also worked for Farmers and Merchants Bank in Rogers, then Bank of Bentonville which is now Arvest.
Louise was a lifelong member of the Methodist church, having given her life to Christ at age 12. She sang in church choirs, participated in Bible studies and women’s circles. She was a longtime member of the Mary Matrons Home Demonstration Club and participated for over 20 years at the Hoback Senior Activity Center. She won a handful of medals with Senior Olympics over the years.
Her favorite saying was, “This too shall pass”. Her view of the world was positive, and she had faith that God was in control.
A memorial service will be conducted at a later date when traveling is safe and hugs can be given.
