Louise and her husband lived on the Lemons Ranch in Bend, moving to the Lometa area after the ranch sold in 1982. Louis remained in the Lometa area until her failing health forced her to relocate closer to her family in Grimes County. Louise was of the Baptist Faith and a member of the First Baptist Church of Lometa.
Lou was a homemaker, loving mother/grandmother loyal friend, and a dedicated arts and crafts practitioner. Many of the young girls of the surrounding communities had their Barbie dolls outfitted by “Fashions by Lou”. Christmas decorations were her passion and anyone visiting her home around the holidays could attest to the fact.
