She completed the eight year education program at the rural school, Alden #2, near her home. On October 3, 1943, she was united in marriage to Lester (Bud) Olson. To this union, four children were born. Louise was a full-time homemaker and mother. She enjoyed cooking and baking delicious goodies for the enjoyment of her family and friends, and was always on the "look out" for a new recipe to try. She also spent many enjoyable hours tending her flower and vegetable gardens.


In her later life, she enjoyed playing cards with friends, walking to the store and post office and visiting with friends along the way.
