At a young age, she took a 6-week Bible School course in Canada, and then taught at Vacation Bible Schools in Ohio and other states as far as Missouri. She was also a Sunday School Teacher at her church for years, and was always involved in some church activities whether it was with children or quilting with the ladies. Her mother passed away in 1962 and later her father married Ada King. Louetta had lived at home but soon after her dad remarried, she moved to the small rental house next to her parents.
