She was a long-time active member of the Niantic Community Church, where she taught Sunday school along with other service work.

Although I didn't work with Lou Ann directly, I had the privilege of briefly working at East Lyme Public Library in the 90's, and truly enjoyed her skills and lessons. She was someone you wanted to be around and her presence at E L Public Library was indeed a treasure that I am sure many benefited from. My sincere condolences to her family and friends who will miss this dear lady.
