I remember Louise fondly. She lived across the street from us as I grew up. She was my mother's (Pete Adams) best friend for many years. She felt sorry for me in the seventies and gave me a job working the admitting desk at Manatee Memorial hospital. She could be stern but deep down she was a marshmellow. My family will miss her and now she is flying with the angels. Rest in Peace Louise.
Louise was a sweet, loving and giving lady. She enjoyed doing
her "scratch-off" lottery tickets and giving 10% of her winnings to
Jack, because he bought them for her! We would make $2 bets
on sporting events that involved Florida teams vs Michigan teams.
She was a wonderful lady, and always made us feel comfortable
when we would visit. She was a great part of Jack's life until he
passed away. Rest in peace dear friend.

I did not know Aunt Louise very long, but the short time I did know her she brightened my life.I will miss her. Keeping family in prayer. RIP Aunt Louise
My Aunt Louise was a very resilient lady whom I admired greatly.
Some weather adversity in a calm reflective state, while others may become overtly anxious and fearful of the outcome - my Aunt Louise exemplified neither by using a 'taking the bull by the horns' approach that could at times be hard for those around her to understand. I can honestly say (without me realizing it until now) - that my Aunt Louise's stern sometime stubborn, sassy attitude has benefited me greatly to accept hard situations in my own life. She had a straight forward personality that you never really had to wonder where you stood when you were around her - she truly said it like it was (this often rubbed some friends and family the wrong way) but I always managed to understand who she was and didn't ever get too worked up.
Undoubtedly she will be missed - I will actually miss her sassy attitude the most out of any of her attributes because it brought much humor to the mundane parts of this life. I have a lot of great memories of my childhood vacations spent with her staying in her home and especially the time I spent with her on vacation when my wife and I were first married. She made one mean (and by mean I mean super good) margarita and had a raspy laugh that would be hard for anyone to forget. She reminded me of my treasured Grandma June Lowe in many ways especially when her sweet side often came out - I always joked with my wife that my Aunt Louise was the the unfiltered and uncensored version of my Grandma.
Aunt Louise was a breath of fresh air whom I will greatly miss but I am happy to think of her reunited with my Grandma and Grandpa in Heaven and know that she is in the best place possible.
In Faith, Hope, and Love, Adam Shilling (her great-nephew).
My Aunt Louise . I remember her laughter . Coming in town to visit her step mother and how she was always pleasant . She talked about how she liked sleeping on the floor for her back . Not sure she really did . Will miss you . Love you RIP
I miss her so much ... Cindy (niece) Lowe Kuhns
