Born August 30, 1930, Louise was the daughter of Calvin Eugene Wilson and Julie Brasher Wilson. Louise knew the value of hard work and for many years worked for Marshall Durbin before her retirement. During her later years, she enjoyed watching her game shows and frequenting yard sales. Louise loved a good family barbeque and found much joy in spending time with her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
