'Louis Killen Obituary'. Louis Killen didn't die, Louisa Jo Killen died. I understand that some people have difficulty using the correct, female, pronouns when taking about the past, and that when a performer who is known by more than one name dies it is necessary to refer to both names, but to headline this just 'Louis Killen' is to deny her very existence. Louisa Jo existed. She always existed.
