Luise Anna Guilds

Posted

Luise Anna Guilds, 91, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 14, 2018 surrounded by her loving family.

Luise was born in 1926 to Friedrich and Anna Walz in the world-renowned town of Rothenburg o.d.T., Germany.

She was predeceased by her husband, SFC Jerome O. Guilds, USA (retired), whom she had met in Germany while working for an American family.

Our Luise was a unique and one-of-a-kind treasure. She loved life and lived life fully, breaking into song and dance at every opportunity.

Luise faced life head on with tenacity and courage. She never met a stranger, and people were drawn to her positive spirit. Luise was strong and determined. And, her big heart went out to all the stray cats and dogs that crossed her path.

Luise is survived by her three daughters, Ilse Krick of Clayton, California, Sandra Sammartino of Fairhope, Alabama and Carol Costello of Daphne, Alabama; her grandchildren, Kirsten (Joel) Donahoe, Daniel Krick, Michael (Mary) Sammartino, James Sunosky, Kirstina (Joey) Irizarry, Anna Costello; great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.

Auf Wiedersehen from your broken-hearted family.
