Louise enjoyed volunteering for several organizations, including Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and most notably as a CCD teacher at Our Lady of Good Counsel parish. One of Louise’s favorite pastimes was playing golf and enjoying friends at the Moorestown Field Club.
In her later years, Louise moved to the Evergreens where she reconnected with old friends from
Moorestown and developed new friendships. She most enjoyed participating in activities and performed in several shows put on by the Evergreens’ Theater group.
Louise exhibited a strong sense of community, was a lover of history, and always had a positive attitude throughout her life greeting everyone with her infectious smile. She was fiercely proud of her Boston roots and kept her accent despite her long life in New Jersey. She was especially proud of and loved being with her children and grandchildren.
