DUNN, Louise Pauline
Louise Pauline Dunn, beloved wife, mother and friend, was welcomed home by her dearly departed husband Richard Dunn and son, Steven P. Weaver on his birthday, August 31, 2012. Born in Hartford on October 7, 1933, the sixth of seven children born to the late Frederick Guy Cooper and Lucina M. Niles. A Mohegan Indian descendant and Windsor native, Louise settled in West Hartford in 1999 where she resided for the past 22 years. She was a devoted and loving mother to her six children and in 1983 was blessed to share with them her marriage to her longtime friend Richard Dunn. Louise worked many years as a private nurse who provided loving and compassionate care to a family that embraced her as a family member. She was a vibrant and social lady who was well known and loved in the Fellowship Housing and surrounding community. She always greeted all with a smile and welcomed a smile in return. Louise would always leave everyone she met with the message, "have a safe journey home." Louise leaves her children, Lucina A. Garced of New Britain, Llewellyn Weaver III of Windsor, Marcie L. McCone of Taunton, MA, Helena M. Elliot of Hebron, and Marshall Weaver of Hartford; and a wealth of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great- great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She also leaves her brother, Thomas Cooper (Dr. Pretorious) and his wife Lynn (Traveling Sister) of Willington, Mildred Nelson of Bloomfield and Olive Sands of East Hartford. She also leaves her cherished niece Eileen Bozeman (sister). In addition to her husband and son, Louise was predeceased by three siblings, Margaret Allen, Herbert Cooper, and Henry Marshall Cooper. The Dunn Family extends sincere appreciation to the caring and compassionate staff of St. Francis Cancer Center, especially Dr. Joerg Rathmann and Loretta Ickes, as well as Dr. Mohammad Pazooki, who also shared in Louise's care at St. Francis Cancer Center.
