Louise Pauline Fitzgerald was born on September 13, 1920, on a ranch west of Midland, the daughter of Paul and Margaret (Timm) Stahl. She grew up on the ranch and attended Midland school, graduating from Midland High School. She then attended the University of Minnesota where she received her teaching degree. Following her studies she moved back to the Midland area where she taught at the Witcher School for three years. It was at this time she met James Fitzgerald.
On September 8, 1944, during a break from boot camp, they were married in Rapid City, SD. Louise and Jimmy then moved to San Mateo, CA, where they made their home while Jimmy was finishing his tour of duty in the Navy.
While living in California, Jimmy and Louise's eldest son, Bruce, was born. Two years later the family returned to South Dakota where they made their permanent home on a farm-ranch in the Milesville area, and had six more children; Dawn, Duane, Cheryl, Mark, Brett and Dana.
After her husband's death on November 20, 1996, Louise continued to reside on the farm-ranch until her death.
Louise was a loving mother who always had her children's best interest at heart. The love her children felt for her knew no bounds and the loss of her will be felt forever.
