Lou Gold – I lost my most precious spouse Ronald Williams 2 years ago. I had 2 sons, one of which I lost 15 years ago. My other son, Nathan, is living in Colorado. I came to Houston from Colorado to work for Compaq Computers which later became Hewlett Packard and worked for them for 17 years. My academic teaching background is teaching at the Jr High, Sr High, College, and Graduate level; in business, new hire, management and executive training/coaching.
Some of my career I was a reporter, the Rocky Mountain News advertising manager and the communications manager for March of Dimes. I am an author of “Discover Denver”. I have 2 fabulous rescue greyhounds – Summer and Winter and I enjoy gardening. I have 12 years of Catholic education and searched for several years for a church that I could call “home”. I am now at “home” at LOL, where all are welcome. It is a joy to become a member here.

Susan Welbes – I’ve lived in South Montgomery County since 1997 and the Houston area since 1974. I’m a mother of two adult girls and my husband and I have been married for over 35 years. I was the Director of Human Resources for The Woodlands Township from 1998-2020, and currently serve as the Administrative Services Division Director for Travis County’s Transportation and Natural Resources Division (where they support remote work, so I can remain in the area!). I have attended church throughout my life primarily at Missouri Synod or WELS Churches. I find that my beliefs and faith are more closely aligned with the ELCA and have enjoyed visiting our State and National Parks.

Shirley Czerwinski – I live at the Conservatory in The Woodlands where I am involved in many activities such as games, exercise, bible study and I am a Hug a Bear volunteer. I was raised Catholic but for many years I’ve gone to the Community Church in Montgomery. I have two sons. One is a member of Lord of Life. While raising my sons I spent 10 years on my hometown farm in Bremond, TX. It was a wonderful experience for all of us as we had a veggie garden and fruit orchard. I moved back to Houston once my sons went off to college. I enjoy volunteering at schools, Vitas Hospice, hospitals, The Wolf Sanctuary, Assistant League Thrift shop and Crisis Hotline. Presently my goal is to be a good grandmother to my 4 grandchildren and to be more involved in my relationship with my heavenly Father. I look forward to friendships at Lord or life and attend the Women of the Word bible study.
