Lluese or "Weese" was born on Aug. 17, 1928, in Loango, Ala., the daughter of Bethel and Evie Lowe. She grew up in the Loango and Red Level area of Alabama and graduated from Red Level High School in 1947.
On Dec. 20, 1952, she and Robert Lee Resso were married in Mobile, Ala., where they lived until they were transferred to Orangevale, Calif. After five years in California, they were transferred to Dayton, Ohio, where they stayed until 1975. They then transferred back to Orangevale until retirement in 1981. That was the beginning of their dream of moving to Idaho and building their retirement home on Gypsy Bay.
The joys in her life were her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her long distance family. The grandchildren knew Grandma would "save" them when their parents were disciplining. She was most happy when she received visits, phone calls, and letters from her family.
She is survived by her children, Steve and Karen Resso of Sagle, Idaho, Debra and Don Frank of Sagle, Jerry Resso of Post Falls, Idaho, Kelly Davis of Careywood, Idaho; her grandchildren, David and Sarah Resso of Sandpoint, Justin Koogler of Sandpoint, Daniel and Danielle Resso of Honolulu, Hawaii, Stephanie and Joel Long of Bakersfield, Calif., Brian Resso of Sagle, and Coleman Frank of Sagle; her great-grandchildren, Libby Lee Resso of Sandpoint, Darrian Joseph Resso of Honolulu, and Joanna Lluese Long, Bakersfield; a brother, Pete Lowe of Red Level, Ala., three sisters, Ruby Hartin and Opal Reeves of Red Level, and Dean Hart (Edwin) of Elba, Ala.; and many treasured nephews, nieces, cousins, and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lee Resso; her father and mother, Bethel and Evie Lowe; her brothers, Dewey, Benson, Buddy, and Russell Lowe; and her sister, Mildred Lancaster.
