Lou met the love of her life, Fred B. Daniel, Jr., while working at the A&W Root Beer stand at 39th and MacArthur in Oklahoma City.

Eventually, they made their home in Yukon, Oklahoma.

Lou and Fred were members of the Central Oklahoma Corvette Club and shared a love of traveling and making memories together. Lou enjoyed cooking, especially preparing German schnitzel and the red velvet cake she loved to make for her son, James. She also treasured the friendships and fellowship of her high school Lunch Bunch. Lou retired from Guaranty Bank, carrying with her the many memories and relationships she built throughout her life.
