The name stuck and she was known throughout her life as Louise. She was a member of the Bible Believers' Church, where her son-in-law, Dennis Young, is the pastor. The family would like to offer a very special thank-you to the members of the Bible Believers' Church for their many prayers, visits, cards, flowers and other expressions of love during the past two years.
