Louise lived in several places over the years, including Virginia, Ohio, llinois, Iowa and Oklahoma, but her roots and heart were always in Wann. She loved reading, hummingbirds, and watching sports—especially women’s softball, which brought her great joy.
She is survived by her six children: Nedra of OK , LoraLe TX, Martha Shoulders of MO, Thomas Jr., Susan Franks, and Juanita both of IL; 13 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who she loved dearly.
Louise was preceded in death by her parents, Archie and Anna Gaskill, and all 14 of her brothers and sisters (Hasseberg & Gaskill). She was the last of her siblings to pass, closing a treasured and remarkable generation of her family.
Louise will be remembered for her quiet strength, her love of family, and the joy she found in the simple beauties of life.
