Louise was a mostly stay at home mom from time to time she would help out a family friends, Ormond and Fern Osborn at Joplin Zero Storage facility. They butchered beef cattle and offered the general public rental of storage lockers, to those who wanted to purchase large quantities of meat but had no storage at home.
Summers she was always busy canning fresh produce. Every single year the family would make the pilgrimage back to her home place in Johnson County, Arkansas to pick up bushels of peaches, grapes and anything else that was in season during their trips. She would spend the next week or more making peach and grape jellies, juices and of course, pie's and cobblers.
Louise didn't have any hobbies other than keeping up the home and keeping up with husband, Lloyd's hobbies. Since he was a radio and television engineer, he always had someone's television at their house working on it, usually sitting on top the family's own television with plenty of tools scattered about. Louise made sure the family never missed the annual Cemetery Decoration Day. The Saturday before was spent purchasing and preparation of artificial arrangements and Sunday morning bright and early out cutting the fresh flowers that grew in her mother's yard and garden.
Both Lloyd and Louise were active members of Byers Avenue Methodist Church in Joplin and Goddard United Methodist Church in Fort Smith.
