LOUISE CAMP

West Monroe - Louise Camp joined her Lord and reunited with her husband on 
Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Her husband, Ewell Camp. Jr., predeceased her 
on September 9, 2017. Louise was the beloved aunt of Bert Collins, Jr., and 
his wife Kay of Crossett, Arkansas; Ann Nelson and her husband Jim of 
Bethesda, Maryland; and Larraine Lewis and her husband David of Plano, 
Texas. She also left behind three of Ewell's cousins that she considered her 
"boys" and their wives; Roger Camp and wife Pam, Jeff Camp and wife, Debra, 
John Camp and wife Sherry, all of Calhoun, Louisiana.

Mary Louise Carter was born February 13, 1925 in Crossett, Arkansas, the 
youngest of six children born to Walter James and Annie Belle Andrews 
Carter. She is preceded in death by her brothers, Scott Carter, Chesley 
Carter and Ned Carter, and her sisters, Ruby Carter Bussell and Myrtle 
Carter Collins.

After graduating from Huttig, Arkansas, High School, Louise joined the 
United States Cadet Nurse Corp, a federal program to train young women to 
become nurses during WW II. She received her nursing training at St. Francis 
Hospital in Monroe, Louisiana. After receiving her RN designation, she 
worked for several different physicians in Monroe, before starting to work 
as a nursing supervisor in nursing homes. The last part of her career was 
spent working for the State of Louisiana as a nursing home inspector. All 
her life she served the Lord through her compassionate care for others, for 
He tells us that "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers 
and sisters, you did for me."

Louise married Ewell Camp, Jr., on November 15, 1947, and they settled in 
the home they built on family land on what is now Camp Road in West Monroe. 
They spent their entire sixty nine year marriage in this home. God did not 
bless their marriage with children, but they "adopted" many young people and 
lavished their love on them.

Louise was a member of First Baptist Church of Calhoun and loved being with 
her Sunday School class.

Louise and Ewell shared a full life, including traveling domestically and 
abroad, square dancing, raising cattle and spoiling countless pets. But 
Louise loved nothing more than being with friends and family. She never met 
a stranger and anyone who entered her home was welcomed as a friend. She 
loved to share stories of family and friends and old times when visiting 
with others.

A funeral service for both Ewell and Louise was held Thursday, September 14, 
2017 at First Baptist Church, Calhoun, Louisiana with burial at Liberty 
Baptist Church Cemetery.

INSEPARBLE IN LIFE, INSEPARBLE IN DEATH

Pallbearers were Roger Camp, Ronald Camp, Jeff Camp, Brad Camp, Jim Nelson 
and David Lewis.

Honorary pallbearers were Ryan Camp, Richard Camp, Ralph Camp, John Camp, 
Bert Collins, Jr., Eric Harbison, John Wallace and Faith Sunday School 
Class.
