December 27, 1916 - October 17, 2017
On December 27th 1916 just two days after Christmas a beautiful baby girl was born to Andrew Jackson and Mattie Elizabeth Mott, her name was Louise. She was the 7th of 8 children to be born to this couple. Being of strong Christian faith, Louise confessed her hope in Christ at an early age and began her walk in faith under the leadership of Pastor G. Guy at Pleasant Grove
Missionary Baptist Church where she served in a number of positions such as Church Secretary, Sunday School Superintendent, Teacher, Activity leader, Youth choir director and so countless other rolls in both her Church and the community.
On October 17th 2017 at 0558 Louise did obtain her Angel wings and transitioned peacefully from her earthly home at 9320 Labette DR, Little Rock, Arkansas to her heavenly home, she was surrounded by her family. Louise played a pivotal roll in the lives of both her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so many others she was graced to meet.
Preceding her in death was her husband; Rev. Ira Blackwell, her parents; Andrew Jackson and Mattie Elizabeth Mott, five brothers, two sisters and one son, Ira Blackwell Jr.
Louise leaves to cherish her memories, her daughters: Valerie Hernandez, Irah Blackwell-Stokes a nephew Charles Mott and one honorary son Michael Travis, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a host of family and friends who will miss her dearly.
This beautiful gift of light will never be forgotten, her traditions and teaching will forever live on for she is forever loved.
A special thank you to Kylcee and Khristopher without your loving care, songs and patience I could not have made this journey.
So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.
My granny's love is what I'm going to miss the most. Her smile made my day. Hers words of love and forgiveness will ring out of my mouth. Thank you grandma for showing me the keys of life.you shell never be forgotten. At 105age.
so sorry for your lost. she Truly was a woman of faith. keeping you in our thoughts and prayer.
When I found out, time ceased to exist and in my mind the words echoed
"This is just a bad dream" you're never prepared to hear the words "she's gone" so when the words impact you the only feeling one can process is denial, for the memories we shared can never perish. The memories of grandmother and grandson, and now you're gone yet still here with me, so the second hand on the clock begins to move once more, and the reality of of a world without you sinks in. Unlike other people you fought to the very end, with an unbreakable will to carry on, seeing your children and grandchildren walk down their paths.
So why does it feel you're here although you've departed? Because in all of us you live, you lie within our hearts, our minds, in our daily routine, and in the memories we hold and will cherish...
You will be missed but never will you be forgotten
We love you

A beautiful gift of light
Her brightness was timely, yet ahead of her time. She was a consummate teacher of Christian values who lived out her beliefs before man. Touching generations, her inspiration will continue. Thankfulness pours forth. Her mark is made. Her generation was served. She will not be forgotten.
She is forever, a greatly beloved aunt.
