Louise was born November 28, 1912 in Clinton, IA, the daughter of George and Avis Stage St. Ores. She graduated from York Community High School in Thomson, IL. She was united in marriage to Daniel E. Sack in Thomson on October 16, 1934. Most of their lives, they lived in Thomson and Clinton. They raised their family, and were active, in the Baptist Church. In addition to raising her children, Louise assisted with 4-H sewing projects, offered support for school events and hosted Ladies Aid Society activities in her home. She liked to crochet and play cards with friends. Music was a lifelong passion for her and for many years she sang in church and in the Watermelon Trio in Thomson, IL. From 1962 to 1986, she and Dan resided in Arizona, before returning to Clinton. She relocated to Des Moines, IA, in 1997. She left a legacy of her love of music to her family. She played the piano and accompanied sing-alongs, and regularly received compliments on her great smile and positive personality. She loved to sing and always harmonized when she sang with any group at church-always! Next to her love for the Lord, Louise's family was everything to her. She enjoyed nothing more than being with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Louise is survived by daughters Joyce (John) Feddersen, Des Moines, lA, and Mrs. Carol Brinkman, Chickasha, OK, son Dick (Pat) Sack of Clinton, lA, as well as nine grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dan; her parents; brothers, Carl, Willis, Harold, and Herbert St.Ores; and son-in-law Rev. Jerry Brinkman. Memorials may be made to ChildVoice International.
