Louise Powell

Powell, Louise, age 82, of Dayton, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, October 12, 2015.

Louise was a longtime member of Brantwood Baptist Church. She was employed by E.F. McDonald/Carlson Marketing Group, where she made many lifelong friends over the course of 16 years. Louise enjoyed many things, but nothing more than her family. Her devotion to her grandchildren was obvious to anyone that she encountered. Her altruistic love spilled into every life that she touched.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Lawerence Powell in 2005. Louise is survived by her children, Larry Powell of Casstown, OH, and Kathryn Powell of Fairborn, OH; granddaughter, Ashlee Hammond, of Kettering, OH; the light of her life, great grandchildren, Boston, Berkley, and Sunny; and her beloved pup "Brady", many loving brothers and sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews.

"I know a woman of strength and beauty. I have watched her for years, learned from her, been cared for by her, been loved by her in a way NO ONE else could ever love me. She has been my guide, my protector, my inspiration, and most importantly, my friend. She will always be these....She will always be in my heart. She is my Mother."

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to St. Jude Research Hospital in Louise's memory.
