Saint Joseph at Honey Creek Catholic Cemetery

Spring Branch, Comal County, Texas

Louise Klar's journey began on November 14, 1943, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where she was born to Barbara Clement and Richard MacLaughlin. Growing up, she attended Lakewood High School, graduating in 1961.

Shortly after completing her education, Louise embarked on a new chapter by enlisting in the United States Air Force. Stationed at Norton AFB in San Bernardino, California, she served her country with dedication and pride.

Beyond her military service, Louise's life was characterized by her deep faith and commitment to community. As an active member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church - Honey Creek, she volunteered her time and talents, including serving at the Annual Homecoming Festival and participating in the Catholic Daughters group.

Louise's creativity and generosity knew no bounds. She possessed a passion for crafting, delighting her family with handmade birthday and Christmas gifts. Her love for family gatherings, particularly the Klar Family Christmas and sausage making day, brought joy to all who attended.

Throughout her life, Louise found solace in her collection of angels and her admiration for dragonflies, symbols of resilience and transformation. Her unwavering faith in the Lord sustained her through life's challenges, inspiring those around her with her strength and love.

On September 4, 2020, Louise's journey came to an end in San Antonio, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and resilience. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Allen Klar, her sons Patrick, Mark, and Kevin Klar, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brother Rick MacLaughlin, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Though she may no longer be with us, Louise's spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, a testament to the enduring impact of a life well-lived.
