She also enjoyed traveling, including visiting family members in New York City, California, Alabama and Vienna, Austria.  She loved having conversations with friends and watching good movies. Always a strong swimmer, she continued to enjoy swimming well into her 80s.

Louise is survived by her daughter Maureen Robb and her husband John of Franklin County, Va., her daughter Gail DeWitt of Foley, Ala., and nine nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband; her brother Leo and sister-in-law Joan LaChance; her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Marguerite and Frank Surry; and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Albert and Priscilla
