In 1952, she, her husband and 3 small children moved to Sturgeon Bay. Louise worked for Dorco for many years, retiring in 1981.  She enjoyed knitting, sewing, crafting, and most of all woodworking in her garage.  She loved to tap dance and was an active member of the YMCA.  She especially loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
