Mrs. Herren was born on December 26, 1926, in Coffee Springs, Alabama, a daughter of the late Brady Myers and Lucille Mott Myers.

Her husband, Alton Joe Herren, passed away in 2000; and a son, Everett Deloy Herren also preceded her in death. A brother, Travis Myers, has also preceded her in death.
Louise was dearly loved and will be greatly missed, especially by her family: daughter and son-in-law, Myra A. Duffey and Claude W. Duffey; sisters: Betty Hudson, Jeanette McEachin, and Joyce Watson; grandchildren: Brian Anthony Duffey, Joel W. Duffey, Paul A. Duffey, and Pamela D. Shook. Thirteen grandchildren also survive.
Graveside services are scheduled for Friday, August 17, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., at Crown Hill Cemetery in Albany, with Rev. Wallace Willis officiating. Special music will be presented by Claude Duffey and Jerry McEachin. The following gentlemen have been selected to serve as pallbearers: Brian Duffey, Joel Duffey, Justin Duffey, Kolby Duffey, Winston Herren, and Vincent Herren.
