Was saddened to learn just today (Aug 27) of the passing of a dear friend and fellow commissioner on the Fire Merit commission, Louise Mock. I had the privilege of working alongside Louise for some 10 years where we spent many hours in discussion in bringing legislative change to strengthening the hiring practices for the Michigan City Fire Department. And her commitment to her Commission work was so valued she would become the first woman, let alone first African American, to eventually serve as President of the Merit Commission.
I so miss the many long discussions and pointed opinions we, along with her close friend, longtime city councilwoman Virginia Martin, would have on the issues of those days. But memories of the laughter that always ensued during those times that my heart will always remember.
I last talked with Louise at the 2013 Going Home celebration of her late husband, George W Mock. After then, our paths unfortunately changed and time has marched on leading for a new generation of leaders to address the issues of these days.
Sincere condolences to her family and many friends, especially her Mt. Zion family.
But it's my hope, that my friend and colleague, Louise Mock also is remembered and paid tribute to the lasting legacy she helped bring to the Michigan City Fire Merit Commission and the Fire Department.
What a woman, what a friend. Rest well, Louise.

Louise was such a sweet and dear person. 55 years ago, when Louise worked at Danner“s in Karwick Plaza, she sold us an angel for the top of our Christmas tree. Every year since, that same angel goes on top of the tree. And we think of Louise. We stayed in contact, as she was one of our customers at The Joy of Flowers for many years. God rest her precious soul.
