Louise T. Shearon October 11, 1913 --- January 28, 2015
This is not an obituary. We merely wish to share the joy that Louise T. Shearon, aka Miss Louise, G.G., Mom moved on peacefully, age 101, on the evening of January 28th, 2015, and simply say, to know her was to love her. She joins her husband Kenneth Shearon, sons Gerald and James. She is survived by family and friends in Illinois, Florida, across the county and by entire community in Georgia.
She died, as she lived, on her terms, at her beautiful home, on her timeframe, and with grace. With "Amazing Grace" as it turns out, a song she had long ago requested for her funeral. During her last days we sat with her, spoke to her and listened to some of her favorite music. Leaving her alone for a brief moment, we merely slipped in the next CD from the pile. Moments later her 'Angel on Earth', Margie Phillips, noticed from the adjoining room, Miss Louise had moved on. The CD was playing "Amazing Grace". Described by many as an inspiration she leaves us with an eternal fun-loving spirit and confidence that anything is possible whatever your age. She leaves us her indomitable spirit, wisdom, charm, wit and grace, actually her Amazing Grace
