Over the years, Louise Robinson met and married Wilbur Ahlert. They were married for 52 years, until his passing in 2016. She is survived by two daughters and two sons, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Those who knew Louise in life will remember her most for her easy-going and positive attitude, for her cheerful smile, and for her willingness to laugh at herself and at any challenges that life threw at her.

Memorial services are yet to be announced. She will be buried next to her husband in Indiana.
