 Louise was born on December 5, 1946, to the late Noah and Mary Locklear, in Maxton N.C.  She has resided in the Albany area since 1982.  She was formerly employed with MacGregor Golf and Woodgrain Millworks.  Louise attended Springhill Freewill Baptist Church in Mitchell County.  She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all lives she touched.  She especially loved being granny to her grandkids.  She was so full of life and made friends and sometimes enemies everywhere she went because she never missed an opportunity to tell us to do what is right. All of us who loved her dearly will never forget her strength and kindness.  She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

 In addition to her parents Louise was preceded in death by a son James Douglas Clark, six sisters Brenda Locklear, Geneva Milicia, Beulah Locklear, Cleadis Scott, Virginia Clark, and Judy Locklear, three brother Bobby Locklear, Odell Locklear, and James Locklear.
