Louise was born on April 17th, 1932 in Dodge City, Kansas to William E.Hood and Ruby I. Curley. The Hood family moved to the High Desert in the late 1930's and Louise lived there for most of her life.

During her life she worked in schools, rest homes, and hospitals earning her LVN certificate while raising her children. She was also a two time cancer survivor with the help, love, and care of her son Tim, daughters Cindy and Wendy, and her nephew Michael, and could not have gotten through her treatments without the devotion and companionship of her beloved little dog "Spot", who she called her 'cancer dog'.
