Louisa was a graduate of Chapin High School and furthered her education at the University of South Carolina. She was employed in various strategic roles of her family business, St. Andrews Fitness Corp., which operated the Gold's & MUV Fitness locations in the Columbia area.

Louisa was the best wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. She was so proud of her family and loved unconditionally with her whole heart. She enjoyed nature, taking long walks with her dogs, riding the golfcart, travelling to the beach and mountains, and sitting on her back porch watching her birds. Louisa was an old soul, loved learning about history, doing crossword puzzles, and playing games with her family. She had a strong relationship with God, and her family will take comfort in knowing she is healed and rejoicing in Heaven with our Savior. She will be missed but always remembered.
