How Sweet It Is!

“I just love being in my kitchen!”, Lou Guice

Cookies, cakes, pies, and just good food! That’s what Lou Guice loves to do in her kitchen. And to top that off, she gives a lot of it away.. that’s what she loves to do.

I sampled some of her “southern cornbread” with a good, strong cup of coffee in her kitchen and enjoyed her southern hospitality while writing this story.

I was amazed at how many people benefit from her exquisite culinary arts: Seadrift City Employees, the Seadrift school teachers, employees at the Dick’s grocery store, kids at Halloween, and the list goes on!

Lou is originally from Mississippi. Her parents were sharecroppers who ended up buying their own land to farm. Lou’s brother and his family farm the land today.

Lou and her husband Gene had three children: Carrie, Rod, and Becky. Gene worked construction for years. He also worked at AT&T doing preventative maintenance. Lou worked as their cafeteria manager. She did that for nineteen years. Gene worked for them fifteen years.

In 1990 they moved to Seadrift. Gene went to work for Kingfisher until he retired. Lou cleaned houses, did home health care, and cut grass for people. Gene passed November 7, 2015. Lou misses him terribly.

For funerals or if someone is sick, Lou loves to donate a cake, pie, or a food dish.
