I could not have been more fortunate to have Louise as my mother in law . The love and friendship she and I had throughout 14 years I will treasure forever. I especially enjoyed Christmases with her … she was like a little kid ! Often misunderstood by those close to her … I found her character to be refreshing , honest, full of kindness , loyal, quirky, and with impeccable morals. I am honored that my son Neil…as she once told me, brought her such joy and entertainment as her only step grand-child. Neil loved “his” Louise as much as I did. She is in her beloved Ronnie’s arms as I write this . She is at peace. Julianne Marchenonis

David, My memories are seeing a warm smile, soft words and a loving demeanor. Her uncle Gerard and aunt Connie thought the world of their niece and niece-in-law by giving her the honor to be the only attendant at their wedding at the age of 15 and again giving her the honor to be your godmother at the young age of 18. You and Louise had a very close relationship throughout your life, You also showed tremendous devotion to her in her later years. Giving her strength and support in every way possible. She will be missed but will live on in all the minds of those who had the privilege of knowing her. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. ~Diane

Louise was such a sweetheart❣ My husband and I met both Louise and her husband, Ronnie, when our dear friend, Dave Fredette, was our neighbor in Nashua. We now live in California, but I visited Louise quite often before moving and when visiting Nashua since our move. Thank you, Dave, for sharing this special lady with us🥰 We know she and Ronnie are now reunited for eternity.❤

Sweet Aunt Lousie, Rest In Peace. You were always so good to all us Joyce children making us smile especially with Uncle Ronnie at the helm singing. My Mom will especially miss you. You have her laughing even in your final years. With Love and fond memories always.

Louise was such a lovely lady. We enjoyed visiting with her over the years- we wish peace to her family and especially her godson, Dave Fredette who was always there for her, particularly during her declining years. She valued him and was quite proud to have him on her side.
