Louise (Justice) Lester

Louise Lester, 70, of Paw Paw, KY, went to be with the Lord on Sunday; November 2, 2025. She was a member of the Church of Christ. Louise was born February 14, 1955 in Grundy, VA, to the late Joe Earl and June Elowise Lester Justice. Louise was preceded in death by her loving husband of 51 years, Danny Lester; her son-in-law, Danny Ray New; her brothers, Joe Earl Justice Jr, and Billy Justice, as well as a special pet, Lulu.

Louise was most known for her feisty attitude, unbelievable strength, and unconditional love. As for her life, she married on May 8th, 1973. With Danny, she would share two children, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Louise was very fond of her owl collection. She held her love for owls right next to popcorn and Pepsi. Life was unfair to Lousie at the young age of 27, but she persevered through this unfortunate happening for 43 years. She beat the odds in every way again and again. 

Louise is survived by her daughter, Dinah (Curtis) Wolford of Paw Paw, Kentucky, and her son, Daniel "Jake" (Nancy) Lester of Coal City, West Virginia.
