Louise Ann Hoesel, 87 of Callaway, passed away on April 7, 2024, at Hilltop Estates in Gothenburg. Louise was born to Charles and Edith (Thanel) Schaeffer on Oct. 2, 1936. 

She wed Frederick Albert Hoesel on Jan. 3, 1956.

Louise is survived by nine grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

Louise graduated from Callaway High School in 1954 and lived in Callaway her entire life on the family farm.

Louise was an active member of the St. Boniface Catholic Church in Callaway. She was an avid gardener who enjoyed canning, making meals for her family, and being a part of the church community where she made many meals for those in need. She and Albert enjoyed playing card games with their local friends and taking trips to antique shows all around the Midwest. She enjoyed talking to her cousin, Gayle Johnson, frequently. The family would like to thank Kristen Berger for being a faithful friend and support to Louise during her years after Albert passed away.
