Born and raised in San Francisco, she lived there her whole life. Louise graduated from Polytechnic High School in 1950 and, after raising her children, worked for the S.F.

She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter and quilter. Louise was a breast cancer survivor, NASCAR enthusiast (her favorite driver was #3, Dale Earnhardt), 49er fan, and loved her cats (Sambo, Bandit and Buddy). A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 25 at 11:00 at Duggan's Serra Mortuary, 500 Westlake Avenue, Daly City, with a lunch following at the Basque Cultural Center, 599 Railroad Avenue, South San Francisco.

Hi Louise, Just wanted you to know how much you are missed, especially by Nancy and Mike (I'm sure Bruce too)! But Nancy and Mike often post pictures (on Facebook) of you and Gale with great memories. I too miss you. I had the pleasure of working at the POA a lot of the summers, and picnics that we went too. You and Gale were always so good to me. I'm sure you heard of not so great stuff about me from my mom. I was not the easiest. But I just wanted you to know, that you have not been forgotten. Hugs to you and Gale!! xoxo

We were so saddened to hear of your loss. Louise was such a special woman. She was a dear friend to my mom (Yvonne) for 30+ years and helped her through some very difficult times. For that, I will always be thankful.

I can hear Louise's voice and see her smile so clearly. I met her when I was a child and was honored to have her at our wedding. We will cherish always the holiday stocking she knitted for our first-born daughter. Louise will be missed...

Love,
Denise (Huey) and Roger Pang

My condolences to Gale and the Wright family. I worked with Louise at the POA for several years prior to her retirement. She was always so pleasant and cheerful, and ready to chuckle at the funny things that seem to happen daily at the POA. She took it all with a grain of salt.

September 20, 2010

My condolences to Gale and his family on the loss of Louise.

She was a very nice lady, who was always pleasant and helpful to the members of the POA, when they called or visited the office.
