She served as a classroom teacher, assistant principal, principal, and assistant superintendent for over forty years, while her husband was in the Marine Corps and later employed with FedEx. During her tenure in education, she worked with many businesses, non-profits, and community groups to establish communication among stakeholders in order to benefit students in public education. Louise and her family were first introduced to the Town of Beaufort in the late 1980s while her husband Dan was stationed at Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. Summers at Pine Knoll Shores continued to bring the family back to the area, always spending time in Beaufort! It was during these summer visits that they decided Beaufort would become their home once they had both retired. Louise has two grown children, a daughter in Tennessee and a son serving in the Army. Her two grandsons light up her life and when you cannot find her in North Carolina she is most likely visiting them in Tennessee! Louise looks forward to serving as Secretary of the Beaufort Women’s Club this year to support and enhance community involvement.
