Louise Brooke Richardson grew up in Arizona, Southern Texas and the California coastline. She married her husband, Jerry Richardson, during college, where they were both music majors. Later, they moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where many amateur family performances included the five musical Richardson children, with father accompanying on jazz/classical guitar, or mother on piano. After the children left home, Dr. Richardson retired early from his position as assistant professor in the midwest, and the couple relocated to Southern California.

Dr. Richardson has since passed on, and Louise is presently spending time in Pennsylvania. She is serving as organist and choir accompanist in her church, and is also a facilitator in the Addiction Recovery Program there. She plans to travel soon, to visit other family members and return to Southern California. Louise enjoys spending time with her family, and interfacing with friends both new and old. Her hobbies include reading, writing, playing music, traveling, researching family history, and experiencing nature. She also enjoys decorating and maintaining an aura of creativity.
