 “Queen” Louise Ruth Huggins Paige, “92” years old was born March 24, 1930 to the late Deacon Jasper and Reathea Wells Huggins.  Just shy by 19 days of her 93rd birthday, on March 5, 2023, at 8:32 PM, “Queen” Louise and Sarah were holding hands as she transitioned from her earthly life into her spiritual life at the McLeod Regional Medical Center, Florence SC.

“Queen” Louise was a faithful member of St. Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Dr. George Payton serving on the Usher Board, Senior Choir, YMCA, Royal Court, and Missionary.  “Queen” Louise also enjoyed her flower gardening, walking, and cooking.  If you were to ask her “How are you?” her response would be “I’m still kicking and doing good.”

“Queen” Louise loved her natural and spiritual family, believed in big hugs, and lots of love, always saying “I love You, thanks for checking on me.”

“Queen” Louise worked for Horry County Schools until her health failed.
