She was born on October 25, 1945, in Philadelphia to the late Larry and Ethel O’Malley (nee Crane). Louise dedicated 20 years of her life working as a Librarian at Our Lady of Fatima, where she touched the lives of many with her warm and welcoming personality.
Known for her fun-loving spirit, Louise enjoyed traveling to various destinations like Disney World, Wildwood, NJ, Italy and Ireland. She held a special place in her heart for sports, particularly being a loyal Phillies fan and having an appreciation for women's basketball.
Louise was a devoted wife to Paul Illian and a loving mother to her son Paul Illian and daughter Maureen Baskin (Ed Baskin). Her sister Sheila Dolan, grandchildren Audrey Illian, Abby Baskin, Liam Baskin, Jackson Morris, nephew Bernard John Dolan Jr. (Laura), grandnephew Tripp Dolan, and grandniece Erin Dolan will always cherish the memories they shared with Louise.
Louise Theresa Illian will be remembered for her infectious laughter, kind demeanor, and unwavering love for her family. Her presence will be deeply missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
