Louise, the daughter of Anton and Dorothy Larson, was born on October 31, 1929, in Newton, Iowa. She graduated from Urbana High School in 1948 and attended L.I.F.E. Bible College in Los Angeles, California. She loved to sing and while in Los Angeles would sing on the radio. In 1949, she returned to Newton and was then married to Allen Anderson on August 6, 1950. Louise then attended Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri where Allen was a Senior and she was a Sophomore.

Allen and Louise were blessed with three daughters, Karolyn “Kerry” Anderson, Sherri (Ralph) Bryant, and Jada “Jeannie” (James) Piltz; grandchildren, David Haas, Joshua (Randy) Bryant, Bradley Altepeter, Star (Louis) Napoleon, Brittany (Ronnie) Lester, and Luke Riese; her great-grandchildren, Justin, Rayleen, Daniel, Jaden, Giovanni, Nicco, Anelia, Cameron, and Makenzie; and step-great-grandchildren, Logan, Lucas, and Lorali.

In younger years Louise was employed at several grocery stores in Newton, when the couple moved to Illinois, she worked for the United Parcel Service in the North Illinois district for 15 years, and then after a move to Tucson, Louise worked at Walgreens and then at an elementary school, retiring at the age of 83. She then moved to Morristown, Tennessee before returning to Newton in 2020. Most recently she lived in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. For over 40 of those years, Allen and Louise were also pastors. Louise worked hard on her Bus Ministry in Saint Charles, Illinois, ministering to many youth and families in that area. She also continued sharing her love of singing by singing in the church choirs.

Louise is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Allen in 2010; a daughter in infancy; and six brothers.
