Louise Magill Obituary
Louise attended Griffin High School, where she was active as a basketball player and cheerleader. She went on to graduate from the University of Georgia with a degree in Journalism, fostering a lifelong passion for the Bulldogs. Her career began at the Athens Banner-Herald newspaper and transitioned into a fulfilling 32-year tenure as a flight attendant with Delta Air Lines, where she met her husband, Bob Magill, a pilot, during a flight in 1981. The couple married in 1985 and shared a life full of love and adventure.
Beyond her career, Louise was known for her radiant personality and love of travel. She loved her time at Lake Burton in North Georgia, where sunset cruises became cherished rituals with family and friends. Louise was also a dedicated member of The Peachtree Church in Buckhead, reflecting her commitment to her community and faith. After retiring, Louise was active with Delta Clipped Wings, a charity organization of active and retired Delta flight attendants.
Her hobbies included gardening, where she was an active member of The Rose Garden Club of Atlanta. Louise's love for flowers paralleled the beauty and care she brought into the lives of those around her.
Louise is survived by her loving husband, Robert (Bob) Magill, and their two daughters, Courtney Magill, married to Ruben Rosario, and Hayley Magill. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bettie Lee and Dr. John Edburn Clouse, her sister, Marsha Lynn Thranhardt, and her brother, John (Chip) Clouse.
In remembrance of Louise, her family will hold a private scattering of ashes. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in her honor to the Atlanta Humane Society through their American Heroes adoption program at [https://atlantahumane.org/adopt/american-heroes/]. Louise's legacy of kindness, adventure, and compassion will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Just a few days ago, I came across a "memory box" that has been packed away for years. In it, among many pictures, cards and more were 2 things related to Louise! The first was the hand written "speech" I made at Louise and Bobby´s Rehearsal Dinner! The second was a paper placemat from "T.G.I. Friday´s. Louise and I met for lunch and she had little Courtney with her. Courtney drew a picture on the back of the placemat of her family. It is dated 8/26/93. My memory box is now my treasure box. I did not know how important is was to me just knowing Louise was a phone call away or a 20 minute car ride away. How I regret not taking advantage of living so close to each other. Bobby, you and the girls have not left my prayers. They continue.

The Louise I knew was not yet a wife, a mother, an entertainer, a cook, or a gardener. We joined Chi Omega at UGA in 1973 and became "sisters" and great friends. She could draw people in with her smile and her happy, outgoing nature. Any time with Louise was a good time. From riding around in her white Cougar with white leather interior to going out for a beer to going up to Highlands or going to a party, with Louise you were going to have fun. Once, riding horses in Pinehurst, Louise, Steppie and I were at the end of a nice trail ride when our horses all bolted for the barn. Even with our sore bottoms, we only laughed at how silly we each looked. Louise could find the good in everything.
Half way through our college years, Louise and I were ready for an adventure. We headed for Hawaii in the summer of 1974. We lived in Honolulu and worked right across the street from Waikiki beach. We made friends with people we worked with and over the months we explored and came to know that beautiful island. Eventually we knew this time had given us the fun and adventure we had been looking for, but now it was time to return home. Back to Athens and UGA we went.
Our friendship stayed strong as we made our way to and through graduation. Only after that did our paths begin to split. Our lives took different directions, though we celebrated each others careers, marriages and children. I am forever grateful that I was able to see her excitement at becoming a Flight Attendant and traveling the world! I was able to see her deep love for Bob and, later, her deep joy at becoming a mother. Louise found the life she was looking for and I am so thankful that she did.
Louise brought smiles, laughter, happiness, joy, adventure, curiosity, excitement, energy, life and love into this world, and into my life. She is planted deeply in my heart, forever a part of me and my path through this life. For a while, for an important time in our lives, together we walked the same path. I will forever miss her and love her. I will tell her all of this one day, when we meet on the other side.
Bobby, Courtney, Haley, I am so very sorry for your loss. Louise was special in so many ways. She is gone far too soon. Please know that you are in my prayers from now on.

I woke up this morning and the first thing that caught my attention was loss of Louise Magill. Unfortunately, I never met Louise, but I know her Husband, Bobby. As a student at Dykes High School, I knew Bobby and I can always remember his infectious Laugh, his self-deprecating attitude, and his always joyful demeanor. I always knew that Bobby was a very kind man and had a most friendly personality. I am saddened by his loss! Reading the comments about Louise, who could not wonder that Louise would be attracted to a Man like Bobby. I hope Bobby and his family's sadness be soon replaced with the joyful memories left in their lives with Louise. I leave you with this Poem, given to me by a friend;
"There is Sacredness in Tears
They are not the Mark of Weakness, but of Power
They Speak more eloquently than Ten thousand Tongued.
They are the Messengers of Overwhelming Grief And Unspeakable Love"

A better hostess, friend and TOUR GUIDE - there could never be!! Louise was the consummate entertainer and did it all so effortlessly. She never met a stranger and could talk about any subject, to any one!
And directions? Oh MAN!! If you ever needed to get anywhere, in any city that she had frequented, she could give you spot on directions, including street names.... who DOES that???! That would be Louise.
Without a doubt, her greatest joy in life was her family, followed closely by her friends. She was the most natural mom in the world, and her beautiful, lovely daughters are a true testament to that. And yes, she loved that Bobby more than life itself.
She has been missed for many years and I know that her place in heaven is the most beautiful spot there is. Rest in peace, lovely lady - you have most certainly earned it. Our prayers for healing are with you Bobby, Courtney and Haley.

I will forever be grateful for my beautiful friendship with Louise. Times spent at the beach with our children, many lake adventures, Ansley and too many to count. She adored life, her friends, traveling, but nothing even close to the love you had for Bobby, Courtney and Hailey. She will be so missed, but she will be forever in our hearts

There can be no other mother and wife to her adoring family-as Louise. I know Their hearts are shattered. But she was a Godly woman of faith so I know I will see her shining in glory once again.
As a favorite memory, there were many. Having Christmas dinners together. Sailing trips in the BVI´s. Dinners together. Lake Burton was her favorite place. She was always out on the dock. Louise was a fabulous cook gathering fresh herbs from her planters. And oh, the flowers!
I got many recipes from her. Especially her tomato pie!
I´ll always consider Louise one of my very best friends. Never forget her.
Grieving with Bob, Courtney and husband, and Hayley...
Love to you all at this poignant time.

Louise was the most amazing hostess and creator of celebration! She loved to cook and set a table. if you were Lucky she would ask you to be her assistant. She often teased her girls when we were swimming at Lake Burton that a whole town was beneath their feet. I always admired her devotion as the Mother and Wife of her family, Louise, a warm , happy & loving person with a huge heart

Louise was always smiling. She always interested in what was going on in her friend´s life and she was a true friend. She was so very proud of you girls and beamed at your every accomplishment. She adored you Bob. And it was clear you all made her so vey happy. I was so sad to see the notice in clipped wings about her passing. It broke my heart as I know it did yours. You are all in my prayers and I´m sending all my love

Louise and I met by chance 40 plus years ago. My college suite mate was renting a room from Louise in the condo she owned. We soon realized we shared a couple of other things in common including our pilot "friends".
We went on to become the dearest of friends that shared so much together.
Travels around the world. Beautiful times together at LakeBurton. Fun times at the beach. But, most of all just plain fun and loving each other. Louise had a special spirit about her. She never said "No". Her abilities as a hostess were unmatched. Her daughters speak volumes about her commitment to the old school ways of manners, grace, and strength. My heart is broken but I do know that she was loved beyond measure. Rest well sweet Louise. MJ

Simply beautiful in body, soul, and spirit. Weezie's smile, her intelligence, her hospitality, her flower planters, her meals, and the way she loved everyone, especially her family. She loved telling the story of how she and Bobby met, proposed, married, had Courtney and Hayley... My favorite memory with Louise would have to be at Lake Burton, walking together and free to talk. The Lord made only one Louise, and I am grateful to have known and loved her. Louise believed in Jesus as her Savior, and I trust we will see each other again. Prayers for peace and comfort for Bobby, Courtney, Ruben, and Hayley, who were absolutely devoted to their precious wife and mommy.

I loved sweet Louise, who promised my mother she would be my "Other Mom" when I moved to Atlanta. I will forever treasure sitting together on her dock at Lake Burton and listening to her tales of travel as a flight attendant. Much love and comfort to the Magill family. I love you all!

Louise was a joy to be around. She worked hard to make sure all had a good time. She loved Bobby and Courtney and Hailey with her whole being. I will miss our travel discussions and her teaching me to make lady peas and cornbread . My daughter Lindsey always looked forward to sitting down to dinner with Louise and Bobby and the girls. So much fun! Her presense will forever be felt.
