Louise married Fred Leroy Alsup, son of William David Alsup and Florence May Lawson, in 1979 in Tulsa, OK.¹ (Fred Leroy Alsup was born on 29 August 1924 in Aurora, MO ^{1 2} and died on 15 October 1981 in Tulsa, OK ^{1 2}.)

  Marriage Notes:

Leroy reunited with Louise Cantrell, a widow. She was a former school classmate. She wrote him a letter and they subsequently hooked up. Leroy then moved from Mt Vernon, Mo to Tulsa to marry Louise. I remember these later days were quite happy for Leroy. Unfortunately, in a few short years, he had a heart attack. He had bypass surgery in a Tulsa hospital, and we thought he was going to make it. A couple of days after the surgery, Leroy died. Leroy was dearly loved by all the nephews and nieces on all sides of the family, and we were all saddened by his passing.
