She was born March 31, 1927 at Moline, Kan., to Jay B. and Myrtle A. (Lee) 
McNown.  Louise attended school at Moline and during high school she worked at

Topeka, Kan.  The couple were blessed with five children; John, Rick, Randy,

to Kearney where she worked for Quality Oil Company and was the first to open 
a convenience store in Kearney, which offered the first car wash.  

In 1971, the couple moved to the Lexington area and opened Krazy Dick’s, five 
miles south of Lexington.  Louise worked for the City of Lexington at the 
Grand Generation Center for seven years, where she enjoyed the people and made 
many, many friends.  

Louise was a member of the First United Methodist Church.  She always had a 
wonderful smile and a kind word for all she came in contact with.  She will be 
so missed.
