Louise (Hartsock) Riead, age 99, of Storm Lake, Iowa, and formerly of Clinton, Missouri, died on June 4, 2015, at the Methodist Manor Retirement Community in Storm Lake.

Louise Hartsock, a daughter of Virgil and Emily Jane (Montgomery) Hartsock, was born on August 5, 1915, on the Hartsock farm near Deepwater, Missouri.
After graduating from Deepwater High School, she went on to Central Business College in Sedalia, Missouri. Following World War II, Louise met Chester J. Riead and on September 24, 1952, they married. They, subsequently, made their home in Clinton, Missouri, until Chester’s death in 1966.

Louise was a member of Deepwater Presbyterian Church before she and Chester transferred to the First Presbyterian in Clinton. There, she served as an Elder and a Deacon.

In 1984, Louise retired from Charter Bank Clinton, formerly known as Farmer’s Bank of Clinton, as Vice President and Trust Officer. In 1988, she moved to Storm Lake, Iowa, where she made her home near her niece, Dorcas Hartje, and her family.

In addition to church activities, she enjoyed her membership in the Keystone Reading Club, the Buena Vista Hospital Auxiliary, and the Storm Lake Porcelain Artists. She enjoyed China painting for family and friends.

Those left to cherish her memory include her nephew, David Ricklefs, of Sioux Rapids, Iowa, as well as several great nieces, great nephews, cousins, and many friends including the Reverend Don Freeman family.
