She passed away at the age of 94 in her home surrounded by her two daughters and son-in-law John by her side. Louise was born on June 9, 1922 in Jamestown, Arkansas. She spent her childhood years growing up in Batesville, Arkansas until she met the love of her life Warren Mark Wessely, a native Texan. They were married on January 20, 1943 and lived in San Antonio, TX for the rest of their lives. They were married for nearly 66 years. Louise was a devout Christian and an active member of Oak Ridge Baptist Church. She was a Sunday School teacher for many years and was well known for cooking her special dinners from scratch to take to the sick and to church events. She worked for 26 years at Lackland AFB as an Administrative Secretary for the Defense Language School where foreign students were trained to become jet pilots. She quickly became a trusting and loving mother figure to many students and has maintained a close and loving relationship with a German pilot and his wife, Herbert and Elizabeth for over 51 years. She was also known for her tender and compassionate heart for stray animals, particularly cats. She possessed a strong need to feed and care for them every day of her life. She was an avid Baylor, Cowboy and Spurs fan. Louise’s greatest love however, was becoming a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her first priority was always her family and showing her enduring love for them. She never hesitated to put their needs over her own. Louise is preceded in death by her husband Warren Mark Wessely, her parents Burney and Elizabeth Douglas, and her brother Hassel. She is survived by her two daughters Nancy Walker and husband George, Judy Pond and her husband John, and by two granddaughters, Debra Emery and Christine Erickson and husband Eric, and four great-grandchildren, Lindsey and Carson Emery and Elaina and Zac Erickson.
