Louise E. Caton

Louise Ellen Rasnic Caton, 91, of Bigelow, passed away Wed., April 6, 2016 at Mosaic Lifecare in St. Joseph.

She was born Dec. 31, 1924 in Forest City, Mo. to Earl "Jack" Rasnic and Claracy Dozier Rasnic.

She married Carroll Caton on Dec. 21, 1947. They were married for 60 years while living most of their lives in the Mound City area.

Louise loved her family and the time she had with them. She was a farm wife and loved to cook, a love she passed on to her daughter and granddaughters. She also had a passion for politics and it didn’t take long to figure out which side she was on. Above all she was a devout Christian and wasn’t shy about letting it be known.

Louise is survived by daughter Rita (Robert) Drewes of Craig; sister Joan Lehmer of Oregon; four grandchildren, Sheri (Chris) Sharp of Mound City; Nancy (Leslee) Monroe of Macon; Eddie (Theresa) Drewes and David (Greta) Drewes of Craig; eleven great grandchildren and eight great-great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Carroll; and her brothers Layman, Charles, and Larry Rasnic.
