Louise was one of those ladies who “cheered many on their way”. She was faithful in supporting the Savannah Baptist Center Mission through several seasons of change.

I am very sad to learn of her passing, Mrs. Ferguson was one of my favorite customer as The Bank of which I proudly served her as an employee. I can see her smile and her driving in, and in later years her children of grandchild bring her to the bank. She will be missed by me very much. What a wonderful person to have meet. It was always a joy for us to see each other. I know she is resting in the arms of Jesus, and I meet her one day at heavens gate. Rest well Mrs. Ferguson I always said i wanted you to live to be 100 years of age but I guess you and God had other plans.
