Louise was born in Boyne City, Michigan to Harry and Hilda (Sumner) Tift on October 25, 1928. They moved to Grant Center and Louise attended Grant Center School as well as Big Rapids High School. In 1946, Louise married Earl Rehkopf, the love of her life. Together they raised their three children, Ronald, Richard, and Julia on the family farm. She enjoyed gardening, canning, picking blueberries, baking and her Monday Night Ladies group. From a young age Louise has always been a caregiver to her siblings Julia, Claude, Lawrence and Vera.
