Louise Sherrill Campbell Lunsford 
April 13, 1927 - January 20, 2016

Born and raised in Houston, Louise attended Austin High School and Feather and Feather Interior Design School. Louise married the love of her life Charles Campbell in 1948. The Campbell's had two daughters Cheryl and Carol. Charlie and Louise were active in Garden Villas Community Church, they danced with Garden Villas Square Dance club, and traveled in their motor home around the United States in their years together. Charles passed in 1998 just after they celebrated their 50 years of marriage. Louise loved to work in the yard and her flower beds were evidence of this passion. She was a talented seamstress and knitter.

 

In 2004 Louise married Ralph Lunsford whom she had known since the 8th grade. After their marriage she relocated to Beaumont. His church home of St Andrews Presbyterian welcomed Louise with open arms. She volunteered at the church, helping get the weekly newsletter ready for mail out. Louise was an avid knitter and was a member of "knit wits" in both Houston and Beaumont.  Louise and Ralph were active members of Belles and Beaus Square Dance club. Louise became a "Texas Aggie” by marriage. She and Ralph attended most Aggie home games in College Station. They also traveled together all over the world making friends where ever they went.

 

Cancer is violent. Louise fought cancer for several years with all she had! She was quite determined that cancer was not going to slow her down.

 

"Neanie" will be remembered by her grandsons for all of the crazy hats, shoes, costumes, games, and fun she had with them.

Survivors include her husband, Ralph V Lunsford; daughters, Cheryl Campbell Fels and husband, Don; and Carol Campbell Green and husband, Dick; and grandsons, Jeff Kirk, Rex Green and Greg Fels Steen and his wife, Ann, and their children, William, Andrew, and Virginia; stepson, Bob Lunsford and wife, Laura.

 

She is preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Maxine Sherrill; sister, Betty Jane Sherrill; husband, Charles Campbell; and grandson, Ryan Green.
