She spent her life serving the Lord and her husband as a United Methodist minister's wife.

She served as the family bookkeeper and enjoyed sewing and crochet. Louise was an excellent cook, whose key lime pie was legendary. She played the armchair version of game shows daily and enjoyed doing crosswords and sudoku puzzles. She always had a bag packed for a cruise, including memorable adventures to the Holy Land, Methodist Tours of England, and the Panama Canal.

Theo Gee; her children, Scott Theodore Gee and his wife, Angela, of Winter Garden, FL and Mark Augustus Gee of The Villages, FL; her sisters, Shirley Chriss of Kissimmee, FL, Judy Kassera also of The Villages, FL, and Stacey Anderson of Troy, AL; and her grandchildren, Tommy Gee of Burl, AL and Katie Gee of Birmingham, AL.
