Her most cherished calling was ward organist where she served for over thirty years. She also served in many other music callings.

She considered her greatest accomplishments to be the wife and helpmeet of her devoted husband, Harold, during their 57 years of marriage, and the raising and nurturing of her five wonderful children and their families. She found great joy in their devotion to the Church and their desire for education and their developing their musical talents.
Louise and Harold loved to travel, and they spent many wonderful vacations traveling to every continent of the world. Their years together were filled with joy and happiness.
