I was Louise“s friend and across-the-street neighbor for many years in Reading. A kinder, gentler, merrier soul could not be found. She inspired me in my faith journey, too (there is even a chapter about her steadfast faith in a book I wrote!) She is still missed and thought of here in Massachusetts, especially at this time of year. May memories bring smiles to her family.

Louise was a true neighbor to my daughter and her family for many years before her move to CA. We talked a few times when I visited, and she had a strong and gentle demeanor, at the same time. A lovely person who knew how to be a friend. I find that words fail when speaking of her and joyous and stories about her, including her courage.
I am thankful she lived near family in the last years. Wonderfully remembered.

Louise was dear friend and neighbor to me and my family for many years in Reading, Massachusetts. I am so very sorry to learn of her passing. A sweet, funny and loyal person, she was a true believer and I know she is in Paradise now. God bless you, Louise, thank you for being our friend. Our condolences to the family and all who loved her.

Louise worked with my mom at Sears in the Sun Valley mall years ago. She was a kind and dear friend to my mom, who passed away in 2015.
Rest in Peace Louise.
