Lou, as she was known to her friends, spent her early years in Eminence, Missouri. She moved to the St. Louis area, where she became a member of City Temple Assembly of God Church in Venice, Illinois. She then moved to Granite City and had been a member of City Temple for over 70 years. Lou was a devout Christian and active in both of her churches. She was part of the Pastoral staff at both City Temple and Journey Assembly of God. She loved to teach about the Word of God and taught Bible Study classes over the years. Lou worked many different jobs throughout her lifetime, with most of those years being at P & S Amusement. She retired to Bradenton, Florida, in 1997 and became a member of Journey Assembly of God. She returned to Granite City and City Temple in 2010.
