Louise was born in Burlington, New Jersey to the late Artist and Edith Ingram. From this union, three more children were born, Donald, Carl and Alvin. Louise attended New Jersey Public Schools, and in 1952 became Burlington’s first Black majorette, paving the way for black cheerleaders to perform in all basketball and football games. This was a major testament to her unabashed fortitude. Additionally, Louise was a proud graduate of Apex College of Beauty in 1957.

After graduating, she moved to Cleveland, met, and married Arthur Howell Sr. From this union, two children, Arthur Jr. and Lisa were born.

Louise was an active member of the Red Hat Society. Louise also received multiple certificates of appreciation from the Cleveland Clinic for her contribution to their volunteer cancer programs.

She admiringly doted on her children and delighted in her grandchildren. Louise loved to cook, bowl, shop, play cards, and do puzzles. She was fascinated with cooking gadgets, and watching cooking networks with her favorite beverage, a cup of coffee. She was passionate about hosting holiday parties and having cookouts for friends and family. Through good times and times of distress, her favorite saying was “I’m a happy camper”.

When it came to her God, she was steadfast, and faithful. She testified on her faith, spirit, and belief in her Lord and Savior.

Louise, we surrender you to our creator in sadness, but we will always remember your joy. Memories can never be stolen, and love without blemish can never be diminished by the love ones you left behind.

Louise is survived by her two children Arthur Jr. (Andrea) Howell, and Lisa Howell; three grandchildren Ashaunta (Christopher) Powers, Arthur Howell III, Nia Scott; and her brothers Donald, Carl, and Alvin.

The family would like to acknowledge with the sincerest gratitude and appreciation, all acts of kindness and deeds of appreciation during this time.
