Louise Furlong Obituary

October 14, 1926 - July 27, 2016 Louise Barber Furlong, originally of Cleveland, OH, passed peacefully after almost 90 years on this planet. She leaves behind a son, Kirby Furlong, and loving brother, Robert Barber, and a legion of friends who admired her wit, humor, talent, and love of life. A professional singer with extensive work in television, radio, and live performances, an extensive reader, and a dedicated LA Kings fan, she leaves us with her voice and reminds us to have passion in life. She touched so many of us, and was rewarded with the love and respect she deserved.

Kirby,
I'm Elaine Hornsbys daughter, Jill.
I was saddened to hear of your Mothers passing.
I have fond memories of her from my childhood. I know that my Mother loved her dearly and I find some comfort that they are together again. I hope you find peace with your own memories. Fondly,
Jill (Hornsby) Goldstein
