Funeral services were held in the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Tuesday, 
September 15 for Louise Elizabeth Etheridge Brown, 44, who passed away at her 
Tehachapi residence on September 11.
Louise was born December 26, 1953 in Pasadena to Glenn and Nina Etheridge. Louise 
was their only child. Since both of her parents were born and reared in Missouri, 
Louise spent many of her childhood summers visiting family members there. Both of
her parents preceded her in death due to terminal illnesses. Louise was a great 
source of strength and comfort to them both as she was very involved with their 
care.
When Louise started her college career her major was originally food science. She 
loved cooking and was quite an avid gourmet cook. After moving to Tehachapi 
approximately 15 years ago, she decided to focus on elementary education as a 
career goal. She spent the last 10 years teaching third grade at Golden Hills 
elementary School where she made a tremendous positive impact on the lives she 
touched. She was very devoted to her teaching, her students and her fellow 
co-workers. Her faith in God and relationship with Jesus Christ was very 
important to her. She was involved in Bible study with a few of her 
teacher-friends for the past five years. This was something that brought her 
great joy; sharing her faith and love of Jesus. She joined the family of Good 
Shepherd Lutheran Church on May 11, 1997 with her dear friend and fiance Scott 
Woods and her daughter, Jennifer joining the family through baptism on that day.
Louise is survived by her only daughter, Jennifer, age nine; her step-parents 
Marvin Moore and Rose Etheridge; two step-brothers, two step-sisters, numerous 
nieces and nephews and her fiance, Scott Woods.
Louise was such a valiant fighter and faithful example of God's great love. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the privilege to know and love her. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to the Memorial Trust Fund for Jennifer, which has been established at Sierra National Bank.
The Reverend Charles Wilkinson and Deacon Don Well officiated at the service. Interment was Wednesday, September 16, at Tehachapi Public Cemetery - Eastside.
Wood Family Funeral Service handled the arrangements
