Born April 2, 1917 in Toledo, Ohio to Rolland Christopher Yoder and Lillian Alberta Emery Yoder, Louise was the youngest of four siblings.

Married Scott Cowart on July 2, 1939 and had one son, Christopher Scott. Following Scotts death in 1946, she married Earl Lloyd in 1949 with whom she had another son, Eric Dean. Earls military career opened up a world of adventure and travel opportunities for Louise and her family. She visited and lived in many areas of the United States and in retirement traveled abroad, including a visit to her favorite destination, New Zealand.
Louise had a zest for life that inspired many. She developed a love for the water at an early age which continued throughout her life. Most recently she treasured her daily swim in the Comal River with close friends, especially those from Texas Tubes.
