Louise was born and raised in Englewood, Colorado, and graduated in 1937 from Englewood High School as a member of the National Honors Society.   She married John Lont and became a member of First Christian Reformed Church of Denver, Colorado, remaining an active member for 75 years where she enjoyed volunteering.  Additionally, she faithfully supported Denver Christian Schools through many years of volunteer efforts.  Impressively, Louise also volunteered at Porter Adventist Hospital for 46 years, and was recently recognized for amassing over 10,000 hours of service.  

Throughout her life, Louise enjoyed traveling and golfing with her husband and friends, crocheting beautiful  blankets for others, card games with seasoned and new players alike, and making the annual pilgrimage to Grand Lake, Colorado, to spend time with immediate and extended family.  Most of all, she loved her husband, children, and siblings, doted on her grandchildren, and adored her great-grandchildren.  Louise often described her favorite memories and moments as the times spent with her friends and loved ones.     

In recognition of Louise's tremendous service as a volunteer at Porter Adventist Hospital, and her past support of its healing ministries, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to Porter Hospital Foundation.

Memorial service will be held at the First Christian Reformed Church on Thursday, May 5th at 11:00 a.m.
