Louise graduated from St. Joseph High School and is a lifelong member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. She instilled strong faith in her children and always encouraged others through her kindness, generosity, and contagious laughter. Louise shared her deep faith in Jesus Christ with her children. Weekly, she woke her teenaged children to attend a special hour with Jesus in Perpetual Adoration from 4:00-5:00 am. Louise modeled humility and was always quick to put others before herself. She cherished her family above all else and hosted all holidays and festivities and never missed a birthday, always providing a heartfelt gift with special wishes. Beyond spending time with her family, Louise enjoyed occasional trips with her extended family and friends for vacations to Nebraska to cheer for her favorite horses at the racetrack and enjoyed Las Vegas having fun with the slot machines. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives were touched by her kindness, generosity, forgiving and loving spirit and live on forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the following worthy non-profit organization that benefits adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
