A native of Lynwood, CA, she moved to Grand Valley Lakes, near Saulsbury, approximately 15 years ago with her husband, the late Fred Leon Luallen. Mr. Luallen passed away May 12, 2012.

The two traveled to many churches and schools taking pictures for families.
Mrs. Luallen loved to cook for everyone. All anyone had to do was ask and she provided for church functions, family gatherings, get-togethers and at her "LouLou's" home in Grand Valley. A devout Christian, she enjoyed being involved with her church family at West Memorial Baptist Church and was a member of The Red Hat Society.
She leaves behind three sons, Jerry Rutledge (Amelia) of Norwalk, CA; Billy Montgomery (Linda) of Oklahoma City, OK and Chuck Kline of Middleton, TN; four grandchildren, Nina Carter, Billy and Bobby Montgomery and Annette Gallow; and several great-grandchildren.
