Louise Jean Hocke Paysinger

Louise Jean Hocke Paysinger passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 8, 2015. She was 79. She was born to Kurt and Antoinette Lawezka Hocke on February 17, 1936 in Skokie, Illinois, where she would move to Germany at the age of 3. She would return to America again at the age of 16, eventually moving to west Texas and New Mexico, where she would raise her daughters until settling in Morgan City. Louise was a talented artist and a very social person. She never in her life met a stranger. In her spare time she enjoyed reading, painting, watching Saints’ games, and having dinner with her many friends. Louise was a devout Christian all her life. She was a longtime employee of Sears where she retired and made many life-long friends. Her husband, A.C. Paysinger, was the apple of her eye, whom she adored. They were happily married 54 years. She is survived by her daughters: Jeannie Bergeron, Judy Neal, and Jill Bross; her grandchildren: Lewis Skidmore Waller V, Jared Michael and wife Rebekah Bergeron, Ryan Bergeron, Kacey Bross and fiancée Lee Gros, Alan Bross, Chance Manning, and Gabriel, Ashley, and Niki Neal; one great-grandchild Michelle Ryanne Bergeron; her brothers Michael Berens of Chicago, Petre Stabe of Vienna, Austria, and Frank Hocke, sister Barbara Hocke, and stepmother Inge Hocke, all of Wolfsburg, Germany, along with numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved very dearly. Welcoming her home are both of her parents, her husband A.C. Paysinger, three sons-in-law in Jared Leo Bergeron, Paul Joseph Neal, and Alan David Bross, nephew Michael Edward Berens, and various aunts and uncles. Thank you for all the kind sympathies received from close, family friends along with the hospital staff and doctors for doing all that they could. She will be forever missed and honored by those she touched and held dear. “So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 at Twin City Funeral Home. A visitation will held from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the service at 1:00 p.m., with a rosary being recited at 11:30 a.m. Louise will be laid to rest in the Morgan City Cemetery following the service.
