Her dedication and love in the care of her son Kenny and all of his challenges was remarkable and a huge part of the foundation that built our family. She spent many years dedicating herself to the Pine Bush Ambulance Corp as a dispatcher and was a Den mother in the 1970’s for Cub Scouts. Louise played bass in the family band and organized many Jamborees for the Pine Bush Ambulance Corp and local Fire departments to raise money through the 1980’s. In her later years, Louise was focused on her family and Grandchildren. Her tough exterior was just a shell to the soft, generous and kind soul who was always there in our times of need. There was no greater feeling than her daily check in phone calls and knowing how loved we were. Visitation will be held on Wednesday April 14, 2021 from 4-7pm at the William M.
