 OBITUARY 
It was December 31, 1912, that Louise Gresham was the only child born to the late Charlie and Jessie Watson. 
Louise was a very hard \Vorker. She retired from The Keebler Corporation in 1985 . She was also known as momma and counselor to many. Louise didn't mine lending a listening ear to a problem that needed to be heard. Nor did she mind providing a shoulder to cry on. Her heart was full of compassion and her wisdom she shared freely . 
On August 4, 1999. the angel of silence descended from above to claim one of its own. Her tired, wretched soul fled from this painful and sorrowful \vorld to a place of joy, peace and eternal rest. 
Ms. Gresham was preceded in death by two daughters Juanita Brewer and Doris Hill, and one son Randy Perry Gresham. She leaves to cherish her memories : her daughter, Frankie Gresham, her son James Dale Gresham: 14 grandchildren; 17 greatgrandchildren; and 10 great-great-grandchildren; other relatives; and a host of friends . She also leaves three special friends : Ronnie Shannk, Willie Florence, and Carolyn Cannon.
