LOUISE CHANEY

Louise Chaney passed away peacefully at home at the age of 90 on May 24, 2011. She was born in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, on December 24, 1920, one of seven children, to Anastasia and Joseph Corba, immigrants from Russia.


She is survived by her husband of 21 years, Ronald Chaney, her daughters, Sharon Prosser of Seattle and Gayle (Ray) Forsbach of San Antonio, Texas, her brother, William (Marylou) Corba of Novi, Michigan, four grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.


Louise was married for twenty years to Roy Prosser of Carnegie, and twenty years to Charlie Breen of Pasco. Louise moved to Pasco from Denver fifty-four years ago to be close to her sister, Helen Cox. It was a move she never regretted.


She worked as a legal secretary for Horrigan & Sullivan before becoming executive secretary to the bank manager at NBof C for many years. Later she worked briefly for Pischel Publishing. She was very active in her church community and made many friends through her church endeavors. For twenty years she was a staunch supporter of Pasco High sports. She loved to ski in the Blue Mountains, and never missed her coffee klatches with her girlfriends at McDonald's.


Louise met Ron at a dance class, and it was kismet for them both. They continued throughout their life together dancing every week. While enjoying retirement, they took several cruises, tours and many car trips. Much happiness came from being together and experiencing the adventure of romantic places and times. Louise was loved by all who met her, and their lives were made better because of her warmth, her kindness, her generosity and her constant smile.


Services will be at Muellers Greenlee Funeral Home 1608 W. Court Street, Pasco on Saturday, June 4, 2011, at 2:00 p.m.
