Louisa Lee Bruner, age 87, passed away on November 8, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas, surrounded by her loved ones. Born in Wetumka, Oklahoma, Louisa lived a life rooted in faith, family, love, and devotion to those around her. Her gentle spirit, steadfast faith, and caring heart will forever be treasured by all who knew and loved her.
On October 12, 1957, Louisa married the love of her life, Louis Bruner. Together, they shared a lifetime of love, happiness, and cherished memories. Their marriage was a beautiful testament to commitment and companionship, and today, their love is celebrated in the joy of knowing they are together again.
Throughout her working years, Louisa served as a bookkeeper for Intrust Bank, Mid America Indian Center, and Hunter Health Clinic. Even in retirement, her desire to serve others remained strong as she continued giving back through her service on the board as an Elder for Hunter Health Clinic.
Faith was the foundation of Louisa's life. She attended Indian Southern Baptist Church, where she served as church clerk, before later moving her membership to Immanuel Baptist Church. Louisa loved sharing the Word of God, and her faith was evident in the way she lived and loved. She cherished her time with the Joy in the Morning Group and Prayer Room time, finding fellowship, encouragement, and strength through prayer and her connection with others. Her love for God was more than something she believed; it was something she demonstrated through her everyday life. Her faith in Christ was a beautiful testimony that will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
Louisa found joy in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed working crossword and word-search puzzles, watching westerns and soap operas on television, and spending quiet moments reading her Bible. She was also a proud and devoted supporter of her family, making time to attend sporting events, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings. Whether through a conversation, a shared laugh, or simply being present, Louisa made those she loved feel special.
Her memory will forever live on through the many lives she touched and the family she loved so dearly.
