Louise Rapp Obituary

Rapp, Louise M. 82, of Aurora, passed away Friday, June 24, 2011 at Aurora Rehabilitation and Living Center. She was born July 23, 1928 in Elgin, Illinois. Louise was employed off and on for different automobile dealers in the area as a bookkeeper, retiring from that work in 1971. She was a member of the Women of the Moose #400 Auxilary. Survivors include her husband, Charles "Charlie" Rapp, a WWII survivor; four sons: Jerry (Linda), Dave (Sheila), Ken and Bill; six grandchildren: Jenni (Brian) Hall, Robbie, Dawn (Nick) Lenhardt, Rex, Kenny and Alex; a special addition to our family, Shannon; and five great grandchildren: Scott, Matt, Devon, Dane and Brendan. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Ethel (Davis) Dietz; her sister, Margaret Clark; two brothers, Don and Leroy Grimes; and two very special grandchildren, David and Katie. (Gramma is with you now). The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to Aurora Rehabilitation employees Richard, Konisha, Sherry, Godfrey, Lisa and Brenda, and the kind and compassionate staff at Provena McAuley Manor. God bless you for caring for our mom. We were very lucky to have a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother like her.

Jen and family, Grandma Lou was one of those very special people that come through your life few and far between. It was so obvious she loved you guy's so much. She had a special heart for Brian too (I think she must have been a bit fiesty in her youth!) She was always good to your family and it was always a fun time to get together for family birthday's and graduations and all. She will be missed greatly. Our prayer is that God will surround you with his peace and comfort in this difficult time. Bob and Mom
