Louetta had several careers she enjoyed through the years from homemaker, running restaurants with her husband, Avon, Home Interiors, secretarial work at Otasco, and retiring from banking at Great Plains Federal Credit Union to enjoy time taking care of several of her grandkids and great grandkids.
Louetta was quite crafty and creative making wedding flowers for her kids and several of her grandkids including corsages and boutonnieres for homecoming and prom dates as well. When she wasn’t twisting plastic flowers, she was outside planting real flowers in her garden. She was also known as the “Banana Bread Queen”, always making enough to make sure there was plenty for her big family to take home!
