Louette was born on January 13, 1933 to Phoebe and Allan Wangerin in Racine, Wisconsin. Originally they were expecting a boy, but when Louette was born to their surprise they had a girl! This was her response to a frequently asked question.

After the passing of her first husband, David Summers, Louette returned to school in Florida. She worked on receiving her bachelor’s degree in her 40s and became an elementary school teacher. Louette taught first and second grade for a number of years at Hayhurst Elementary in SW Portland. She will always be remembered for being loving and generous to all those around her. She enjoyed playing a variety of card games like, progressive rummy.
