Louise loved her family and dear friends. She was a fiercely independent woman who took care of herself and her animals for the better part of 50 years. Having been raised on a dairy farm, nothing made her happier than her garden, dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, birds and a nice, tall, cold glass of weak tea.
