The Family very much appreciates the Staff at Clearwater Nursing and Rehab and Rivercross Hospice. Louise was born on Friday, January 27, 1928 in Rural Clearwater, Kansas.

He preceded her in death on September 9, 2013. Louise had many life priorities, topping the list was Family, followed by cooking and baking. Louise made sure noone on the farm went hungry, ever!

Louise did a little traveling during her life but she was just as satisfied and content sitting at home on the back porch.
