In her earlier days, Louise enjoyed being a seamstress, crocheted, and was an excellent gardener. She loved being a grandma and got the biggest thrill watching all the grandkids play in the pool. Louise and Carl (the love of her life), loved a good game of Scrabble and could be found playing it daily. She and Carl loved traveling the U. S.

Survivors include her son, James Hall; step-children, Mark (Kim) Gossett, Greg (Kate) Gossett, and Carla (Mike) Spotts; sisters and best friend, Joyce (Cecil) Grigsby and Lucy Mullins; brother, Curt (Jennifer) Baker; grandchildren, Lee, Stacey, and their mother, Teresa Hayre, Tyler and his mother Kathy Hall, and Jamie; eight great-grandchildren; nieces; nephews; special friend, Marcia Selke; and many other friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Gossett Jr.; parents; sons, Timothy, Kenneth "Woody," and Joseph Hall; siblings, Bill Baker and Ena Faye Baker; and stepson, Curt Gossett.
Per Louise's request, there will be no public services. Burial will be in Willow Grove Cemetery, at a later date. She will be laid to rest next to her husband, Carl. Arrangements are being handled by Doan & Mills Funeral Home, 790 National Road West, Richmond.
