Louise was born in Salem, FL, and was a devoted military wife of 73 years to LTC Charles D. Bryan, and made a home for her family wherever they were stationed. She was a caring mother who loved her family. Louise was like a glass of sweet tea, every time you were around her, you always felt a little bit better, a little bit of a pick me up when you were tired, and gave you something sweet. And that is why her loved ones called her sweet Louise. She was a lifelong member of the Walnut Hill Baptist Church, which was her true home no matter where she roamed. Louise loved tending the church nursery, which was her true joy. She was truly a fine lady that could rock her pearls, had a great sense of humor, and was a good sport. Just knowing her made you want to be a better person, a little more patience, and a little more kind. That made her the very definition of a lady.

Louise was preceded in death by LTC Charles D. Bryan (Husband), Don Strickland (Brother), Mary Lou Faircloth Wiggins (Sister), and Marilyn Strickland Ward (Sister).
