Louise went peacefully to be with her Lord on October 12, 2011 with her three sons and her grandson, Roger, III, at her side, after complications from a recent surgery.
Mom was born in the proverbial log cabin on the family farm on May 31, 1920 in Campbell, Missouri to James and Fay White. The family moved to Long Beach, CA in 1925 and then later to Taft where her father worked for Honolulu Oil Company.
She met her future husband, Roger, in Maricopa at a skating rink where Roger honed his skate dancing skills. On a whim in 1938, they went with another couple to Las Vegas to witness their wedding vows when they up and decided to get married themselves. Mom was still in her senior year at TUHS so they waited until she graduated to announce they were married.
Three years later the first of her three sons was born. Mom worked during WW II for Standard Oil as a secretary in the engineering department at 11-C Camp. When the war ended, son number two came along. In 1948, son number three was born to seal her fate as a stay-at-home mom.
In 1957, mom went to work for the Kern County Welfare Department where she retired in 1983 as an Eligibility Worker.
Mom was known as a sharply dressed woman whenever she left her home. She is probably best remembered for her trademark white bouffant hairdo, which was all hers, riding around Taft in her small blue convertible automobile.
She enjoyed life to the fullest and loved being with her family and her many friends and she loved living in Taft She enjoyed painting, reading novels and catching up on all the talk going on around town.
Never a mean word said, always a special kindness and gentleness given to all. She will always be remembered and loved by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Roger, her brothers, Vane and James, her beloved sister, Ila, and her other brother and sisters-in-law. She is survived by her sons and their spouses, her grandchildren, and her 11 great-grandchildren.
