In recent years she also participated in Bible Study Fellowship and Church Women United. One of Louise's favorite things was being with her grandchildren. She had a special gift of being able to relate and become friends with almost any child. She was an "adopted" grandma for several children and she just loved it. She was adopted by Stephanie and James Montanez, Kelli and Jeff Kolodziej. Other interests were gardening along with collecting bird houses, traveling, photography and scrapbooking.
