Louise was the oldest member of the Taylorville Hospital Auxiliary, and she volunteered her time for 30 years. She retired from the State of Illinois and worked at the information desk. She was known as a "go-getter" and looked forward to returning to work after the weekend. She loved her job dearly and would love to pull the slots a few times at the local casino. Her famous quote was "I live to give". This quote describes Louise's character.
