Louise was born September 11, 1954 in New Iberia, Louisiana and was a longtime resident of Acadiana. She was a Lafayette High School Alumni. She and her husband were the founders and owners of Short's RV/Boat Storage and Mobile Home Park in Scott for over 20 years. Louise was a parishioner of St. Edmond Roman Catholic Church in Lafayette. She cherished spending time with family and friends. Louise loved saltwater fishing, especially at her favorite fishing hole down by Bayou Sally. Her biggest win while gambling was in 2010, taking home a shiny red GT Mustang convertible. If Louise wasn't fishing or gambling, you could probably find her shopping or cooking, as she immensely enjoyed this pastime. Family meant everything to Louise and she leaves a legacy of loved and will be deeply missed. The family wishes to thank the staff of Hospice of Acadiana, especially Melissa Jacobs (nurse) and Annette Cashat (caregiver) for their compassionate support and loving care. Also to Reverend Francis Kwasi Agbley, Reverend Joe Campion, and Reverend Gil Dutel for their spiritual support and prayers for Louise.
