Upon their return to Missouri in 1941 they acquired land south-east of Appleton City where they farmed and raised cattle until retiring in 1988. Ralph died in 1996 and Louise remained on their farm, her home of 74 years, until late December of 2014 when she moved to the residential care facility in Appleton City.

Her family will attest to the fact that she was undeniably the best pie baker and chicken fryer ever. Louise also had a great love for fast cars, still owning a bright red Mustang. Louise had a great joy of spirit and loved family, friends and life. She will be greatly missed.
