Louise was born September 11, 1928, in Peru to George and Sophia (Skowronek) Zebron. She married Edward Sigmund Sr. on January 31, 1948, in St. Valentine Church, Peru. 

Louise worked at Westclox for several years and then she was a homemaker. She cherished her family, enjoyed puzzles, and taught everyone to play cards, especially rummy. She was the best baker, chef, playmate, and babysitter (everyone wanted a sick day on her couch). Louise took pride in attending sporting events for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and often practiced with them in the yard. 

She was a member of St. Valentine Church. 

Survivors include one daughter, Lynn Schrader of Peru; one son, Edward Sigmund Jr., of Peru; four grandchildren, Collette Klein of Peru, Heather (Doug) Knoblauch of Oglesby, Jeff (Jamie) Strauch of LaSalle, and Ashley (Andrew) Wright of Bloomington; eleven great-grandchildren; and one great-great granddaughter. 

She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years on April 2, 2003, daughter Sheila Klein Hedgepeth 2012, two sons-in-law Charles Willoughby Sr. 1998 and James Schrader 2013, four sisters and four brothers.  

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family for charitable donations.
