Mrs. Louise Rackley, 91, of Troy, MO, passed away on Monday, June 3, 2019 at SSM - Lake St. Louis. She was born on Sept. 27, 1927 in Pemiscot, MO to Charlie and Roxie (Baldwin) Lester.

Louise also took up cake decorating and loved to bake special cakes for her grandchildren. For many years, she served as a Sunday School teacher at Valley Evangelical Church in Stillman, Illinois. As you can tell, Louise was a sweet, loving, enthusiastic and energetic wife, mother and grandmother who will be greatly missed and long remembered.
