Louella Jean, daughter of Leonard Lohnes and Etta Redfox was born on February 26, 1947 at Fort Totten ND. She attended elementary school in Tokio and high school in Maddock.  She also received training at the Job Corp in Maine.  She worked for a time at Brunswick Manufacturing in Fort Totten.

For the past 40 years, Louella has made her home in the Fargo/Moorhead area. She courageously fought many health issues for those 40 years.  Louella was at one time married to Leroy Littleghost.

Louella loved BINGO, watching old movies, making Star Quilts and doing jigsaw puzzles all while listening to her favorite singer George Jones. She had a very friendly and outgoing personality.

As a child of God, Louella practiced her faith by her many corporal works of mercy; feeding, clothing and sheltering anyone in need. She never turned anyone away, never said I can’t help you, never closed the door to her home.  She had such a loving, welcoming heart and was loved by so many and made so many friends wherever she lived.  Everyone called her “auntie”.  Even though she had lived away from Tokio, she always called Redfox Road home.  Her heart and soul was always a part of “Grandpa’s Place”.

Our hearts ache as we mourn the passing of Louella and we will miss you always, love you always and treasure our memories of you and the laughter you gave us all.
