Louann worked for the University of Oklahoma for 26 years. She met her husband, Melvin, at work and they were married for 35 years until his death in March of 2018. Louann lived her life well, using the golden rule as her moral compass. Her family was her main focus in life and she spent a great deal of time guiding her children to become successful in life while also teaching them compassion and kindness. Louann was a kind and gentle soul with an infectious giggle. She was an animal lover throughout her whole life and treated her dogs as if they were her children. Reading was her passion and she could often be found curled up in a chair, immersed in a novel.
She was also preceded in death by son Brent Todd Ketner; sisters Vonnie Stuber and Vada Hulsey; brothers Russell McGee, Johnnie McGee, Delbert McGee, and Doyle McGee. She is survived by daughter Nancy Baxendale and husband Bob of Oklahoma City; sons Kerry Ketner and wife Cheryl of Plano, Texas, Barry Ketner and wife Kellie of Norman, and Monty Ketner of Oklahoma City; sisters Linda Sitton and Lorene Chitwood and brother Roland McGee; and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
