Together they have four daughters, 10 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, with one on the way. Louise was first and foremost, a homemaker, her family was everything to her. She worked at Meeker Drug, and the B & R in Meeker when her girls were older. She also helped as a poll worker for elections and loved helping out with Vacation Bible School at Morning Star Baptist Church in Meeker. Louise was an avid collector of “Boyd Bears” and we have the proof to show you. Louise’s family would like to express their gratitude to Loving Care Home Health and Hospice of Shawnee, Oklahoma, for their compassionate care and love over the last 14 years.
