She was a devoted and loving wife ... and was an essential element in (her husband's) successful 27-year career in the U.S. Army. She was also a willing volunteer for numerous organizations such as the Cub and Boy Scouts, Parent Teacher organizations and neighborhood associations. Her children and 15 grandchildren will be a living legacy of her rich and fruitful life." Mrs. Looney is survived by her husband of 47 years, Col.
