Louise Mattingly (AKA Hat Lady) is retiring today from Campbell’s Jeweler.
She has worked there for over 47 years and is 84 years old.
What a career of selling and repairing jewelry for the folks in Henderson KY.
Campbell Jeweler has been in operation in downtown Henderson KY since 1962.
Louise is often called Mrs. Campbell. Her almost instant reply is “oh I’m not– my husband Bill had hair!” Louise is known for her fine fashions and impeccable style and wit. She will be missed in downtown.
A reception is being held in her honor today at Campbell’s Jeweler from 10 am till 4 pm.
What is your favorite story about Louise?
Louise – you will be sorely missed. Even though I no longer live in Henderson, I still bring all my watches and clocks in for Harold to repair. It just won't be the same without you.
Congratulation on your retirement!!!

Oh, how I wish I could have been there today! My daughter Emily went into Campbell's to buy a special souvenir (a small silver charm) when she was eight years old, and Louise never failed to ask about her whenever I went into the store. Emily is now 25, but Louise still remembers that special day.
Enjoy your retirement, Louise!
