MILFORD - Louise M. Gill, 71, passed away on Monday, Jan. 15, 2018 at home.
Louise was born in Felton, the daughter of the late Charles and Sarah (Roland) Farrow.
In 1963 she became the first Miss Felton. She graduated from Goldey-Beacom College in 1966. She was a Charter Member of the Ladies Auxiliary for South Bowers Fire Hall.
Louise was the Director for Medical Records at Kent General Hospital for 11 years until she began what would be a 37-year career as secretary for her husband's business, Gill Electric.
She loved painting and found great joy in passing on those skills to a small group of women she taught every week at her home. She entered numerous items in the Delaware State Fair where she placed first for many of her paintings.
She attended Crossroad Community Church in Georgetown and is known by many for her love of the Lord Jesus.
