To her employees Louise was much more than just a boss, she was family, a true inspiration, and humanitarian. I am honored for knowing her, and will miss her guidance, youthful energy, her kind heart and all of the wonderful times we shared. May her spirit live on, and may we all strive to live a life as beautiful as hers!

5-22-11 My fond memories of Louise go way back to the time she worked for my dad at the lumber company mentioned in her obituary. Our whole family loved Louise: we were sad when she left us, but happy she was moving on to that next, great adventure---the Athenian cafe. It was a blessing to be part of her life in those long-ago days!
Now go with God, dear lady! And may His comfort surround her dear family....

Though I never knew her personally, how can a market person of long standing,such as myself, not comment on her sweet face greeting you when you went to the Athenian for a cocktail. God speed tothat big restaurant in the sky,.....

Louise; the sweetest, kindest neighbor I've ever had in the restaurant business or anywhere. Always a joy to talk with, always a smile on her face and a joy to know. It will never be the same in the "heart of the market" and we'll remember you with smiles.
Mark and the staff at LOWELL'S, next door to what will always be remembered as "LOUISE'S ATHENIAN"!

We here at Hands of the World in the Market have often enjoyed a frosty mug at the Athenian after work. We always enjoyed seeing Louise, and knew that her energy set the tone for her staff. She will be sorely missed.
