“We know Louise as farmer members of CROPP. We have been impressed ever since the first time we met her with her commitment to her job, her farm and most of all her family. We can only imagine the challenges balancing those three for 25 years has been for her and for all of her family. We are so thankful she received the Ray Hass award at this years Annual Meeting while she was still living to accept it herself. Great recognition of a great woman. Our sincere sympathies to David, Kristina, Justin and the rest of her family. We have never really met any of you but we have heard a lot about you from Louise!”

“While I didn't know Louise as long as many, I had the privilege and pleasure to work with her for over 17 years at CROPP. I always knew her to be sincerely concerned about doing her best for our farmer members and for employees. I also came to know that Louise had an encyclopedic knowledge of dairy operations and production methods. I quickly learned that she worked incredibly hard and expected nothing less from everyone else. I came to know her drive was fueled by her intense desire to do what was right for all involved. She cared. Period. She was so incredibly smart and determined to deliver excellence in everything she did and to make sure that everyone knew she cared about them. I know I was continually challenged by her and grateful for her drive to deliver great results for whatever we did. I will miss learning from her and seeing and feeling her spirit pushing us forward. But, make no mistake that her spirit is ingrained in so many she has touched over the years. I offer my sympathies and prayers for comfort and peace for her family and friends. And, I celebrate that I was able to be impacted by knowing this marvelous woman.”
