Louise Althere Haines, 96, of Taneytown, died Thursday, June 13, 2024 at Lorien Taneytown.  Louise was born on December 14, 1927 in Columbia City Indiana.  She was the daughter of the late Vern and Stella Sheckler.  She was the devoted wife of Fern Haines who passed away in November of 2022.  They were married for 75 years.

Louise and her husband, Fern, were dedicated farmers in Carroll County all their married life.  She served her community first as President of Harney Fireman’s Association Ladies Auxiliary and also the President of Carroll County Fireman’s Association’s Ladies Auxiliary.  Louise then moved her membership to the Taneytown Fireman’s Association’s Ladies Auxiliary where she served as President for many years.   She married Fern at Keysville Lutheran Church where she served as a Sunday School teacher for several years.

Louise enjoyed spending time with her family and have them join her at the dinner table.  She was happy with her dogs, especially her Boston Terrors, as well as caring for the kitties at the home farm.   Sitting on the front porch in her rocking chair was one of her favorite pastimes.  She loved her flowers and listening to her music.
