She worked as a receptionist for Morning Star Village in Rockford before retiring in March of this year. Louan was a people person and cherished her time spent with family and friends. She never met a stranger and would always focus on others wanting to learn more about them and would go out of her way to make people feel special. She had a great sense of humor and loved making people laugh. She had a one of a kind laugh that would light up a room. Louan will be remembered as always being the life of the party. She enjoyed spending time with her cats and being outdoors; especially enjoying her time outside gardening, mowing, or walking the dog. But, most of all Louan enjoyed being a mother and grandmother; always providing unconditional love and support. She led a simple and beautiful life. She will be missed by all who knew her.
