Louise West passed away leaving behind a legacy of faith, kindness, sacrifice, and devotion to family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe West. She leaves behind her sons, Mike Archbold and Tony Archbold; her daughter, Ronda Harrington; son-in-law, Steve Harrington; daughter-in-law, Thuy Archbold; granddaughters, Wendy Hardy and Leyley Nguyen; grandson, Devin Harrington; and great-granddaughter, Kai Nguyen.
Louise was raised in a strong religious family, a foundation that shaped her into one of the kindest and most selfless people many ever knew. She consistently placed the needs of others before her own and dedicated her life to caring for her family.
As a mother raising two boys during a time when opportunities for women were far more limited than they are today, Louise showed remarkable strength and determination. Though she could not afford a vehicle, she faithfully walked her sons to church every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday night services. Her unwavering faith and example helped guide her sons to accept Christ at a young age.
One treasured memory shared by her family was their weekly Saturday morning walks to the grocery store. During these walks, Louise would talk about family, places, people, and life lessons, helping keep her family close and connected through love and conversation.
Louise will be remembered for her gentle spirit, enduring faith, resilience, and unconditional love for her family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
