Louise was a founding member of the Arizona AALAS branch and received both the Technician of the Year & Member of the Year awards for her dedication.
Louise loved children and came up with the idea of a annual charity raffle with proceeds going for toys and games for sick children at the Arizona Cancer Center. The raffle was named for her after her untimely death in 1996.
The Arizona branch still carries on the raffle in her honor and has since expanded to benefit 3 worthy regional charities.
