This showed when she was working at their family business, Top Promotions, and living her daily life to the fullest. She treasured the small moments just hanging out with company. Louan’s main love was her family. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time watching her children and grandchildren grow up, especially the days spent at their cabin on Lake Wisconsin. From the boat rides to campfires, these family times were priceless. More recently, being able to see her grandchildren get married and start their own families. She cherished all the precious time she had watching her great-grandchildren. Louan was fortunate enough to travel with her children and grandchildren throughout the United States, especially Hawaii. Not many get the opportunity to travel with their brother and sisters, as much as Louan did; thanks to Jimmy and Joyce Kalscheur. Through the years, they spent weeks literally traveling the world together. The extended family always looked forward to the stories and laughter that returned from each trip. The family would like to express its gratitude to Louan’s brother and sisters, nieces and nephews, and friends for all the love and care they gave her during this 12-year journey.
