For more than 50 years she faithfully served Roebuck Baptist Church holding multiple offices; but dearly loved teaching and studying her Bible. Her cakes and pies were extremely popular and requested frequently.

She especially enjoyed Carolina Pregnancy Center and serving the students of School District Six. Louise's hand of friendship was extended to all she encountered and her prayers covered untold numbers. She lived long, loved well, and left the world a better place. She was so loved.
