So very sorry to hear of Sister Louise’s passing, she was an amazing woman, loved God and loved all her kids. She will be missed. I have many fond memories of her growing up, from the lunch room to the church bus to her being my Sunday school teacher.
I miss you granny
Ms. Louise was a very dear sister in Christ to me & all of us at Moro Baptist Church. She loved us all to help her with the children to enjoy each Holiday. She was a devout Christian & she will be missed so much. Prayers for all the family
I had Mrs Louise as a neighbor in Moro for a while when I was a kid. I remember going to her house and enjoyed spending time with her in her kitchen. She was always so sweet. Sending thoughts and prayers to her family.
Sissy and Richard sending prayers up heaven gained another angel.
Sissy and Richard I’m sending prayers up for your family as you lost a precious lady. I have so many fun memories of Mrs Louise from living across the street in Moro to going to church with you all. She was always very kind and loving and made the best food!! She will be missed . Comfort to you all in this difficult time.
Louise was such a kind and giving person. She loved her church. Years ago we were neighbors and I was blessed to talk to her last week. She was with our Savior on Easter this year. She will be missed. Our prayers are with Sissy, Richard and the family.
Our Women’s meetings won’t be the same without you there, you always had a smile on your face and a sweet giggle.
You always told me to be safe on my way home and I will truly miss you.
Praying for the family.
We love you dearly! You were an angel here on earth and now in heaven. We could not have been more blessed than Baxter getting to be part of your family which made us family. Rest now and know we will meet again!! Prayers for the family during this very difficult time. Love to you all!
Louise had been a friend for a long time. We attended the same church in Moro. She was so dedicated to her church serving in many ways, especially Bible Schools , raising money, and Sunday School teacher for the little ones. She loved all the children. We will truly miss her. Linda Gordon
So sorry to hear this,my prayers are with the family.
So sorry Oney and family. Sending hugs and prayers for the days to come.
I was very saddened to hear of Aunt Louise's death. She was very precious and I loved her dearly. I'm sorry I won't there to celebrate her life but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Aunt Louise was a gem! Miles separated us but I always enjoyed the visits…lately it had been at funerals. I jokingly told her she was the Ashcraft daughter/sister-in-law that would show up for any Ashcraft funeral. Heaven grows sweeter with each passing love on. Praying for Sissy, Richard and all the family.
We will all miss you, Granny!
