Burleson – Louise Morgan Tidwell 86, passed away on Thursday October 30, 2014 peacefully at home with her daughters at her side. Louise Morgan Tidwell was born on December 19, 1927 in Glenwood, Arkansas. Service: 10 a.m. Monday, November 3, 2014 at Mayfield Kiser Funeral Home. Visitation: 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, November 2, 2014 at the funeral home. Internment: Burleson Memorial Park Cemetery Louise married Glen Tidwell on September 24, 1945, and they remained sweethearts until Glen’s death in 2010. Early in their marriage, they toured New Mexico with their western swing band, the TW Ranch Hands. Louise sang harmony with Glen and was the band’s drummer. After joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Glen and Louise used their musical and leadership talents in church and entertained at parties, weddings, and nursing homes. As the family grew with daughters, grandchildren, then great-grandchildren, the love of music was kept alive with The Tidwell Family Singers, then The Tidwell Family Singers and Whoever Shows Up. After her daughters had finished college, Louise pursued her own education, earning an R.N, a B.A., a masters degree, and a specialty in trauma. She was honored as one of the Great One Hundred Nurses of Texas. When she retired, she was Director of Tri-Care at the Veteran’s Administration in Fort Worth. Louise loved her family and was happiest when all, family and friends, could get together at her house for dominoes, music, and “chalupees.” Louise is survived by her daughters, Pat Hart, Janet Tidwell, and Debbie Lauterbach; her sister Dorothy Uniat, seven grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren with another expected soon.

Your Mamma was loved much and she will be missed a great deal. I look forward to meeting her in heaven when Jesus takes us home so we can continue talking about how much we love Him. I’m hoping we can pop some popcorn, eat manna and mangoes and Pat’s fruit smoothies while we talk together with Jesus! I will miss her until then. May the God of heaven, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit hold, comfort and keep you all until He comes to take us home forever. Love and peace to you all. 1 Thess. 4:13-18

I am so sorry to hear of Louise’s death. I first met her, and Glen, back in 1989, when we moved to TX. I loved hearing them sing. Glen played his guitar, for my daughter, Jennifer, when she sang for church. Louise was always busy, very active in the Burleson SDA church. She was quite the lady, and we loved her. I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that she loved Jesus and I know He loved her.

I first saw Louise in church. She was impeccably dressed and wore very high heals for someone her age. She walked with determination, and saw that all visitors were welcome and invited to her home for Sabbath dinner. Her friendship has meant a lot to me over the few years that I have known her, but she will be forever remembered with warm thoughts, and tears of a loss that came too soon.

I miss you, Grandma. I’m so very sorry that I wasn’t able to come home and say goodbye. T

It is so strange how life goes. Kenneth and I were just talking about Mr. and Mrs. Tidwell yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, to my parents who enjoy the music of a Mr. Tidwell at their church in Granbury. I did not know Louise had died when I mentioned her yesterday.
Today I drove by the Burleson Cemetery and immediately noticed the new grave at the Tidwell plot even though it was from a distance. I am so sad and moved. Louise is a special, special lady who blessed me with her presence and prayers. Her love for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren is unparalleled. I miss you and await Jesus’ return, Louise. Love to all who love her….
