Mamaw. To refer to Lounette Hall without also referring to her as Mamaw - which so very many people referred to her as outside of just her grandchildren - would be to diminish the role she played in so many lives. Her primary concern all the way up to the final weeks of her life was always spending time with “the children.”
As a child, Mamaw’s house was the place you would walk to after church every Sunday and swim with the other church kids, where you could stay the night and count on being greeted with biscuit hoecake and a list of chores every morning, it was the gathering spot for birthdays, church functions, and even weddings. Over the years, several College students rented rooms from Mamaw while living away from home to attend FSU, nearly every one of her 13 grandchildren lived with her at one point or another, and in between all of this, Mamaw also made time to care for those in their final stages of life. There was always room for one more at Mamaw’s house and she gave freely of her heart, love, time, and resources to ensure every child was looked after.
The world is a better place because of the "Mamaw" Lounette was to so many.
