Louise Riley, 60, passed away peacefully at her home, Saturday June 13, 2015. Louise was born July 16, 1954 in MA, the daughter of Joseph Riley and Margaret Riley. Throughout her lifetime Louise courageously coped with physical and medical disabilities. Her indomitable spirit was an inspiration for all that knew her. During her young adult years, Louise lived in Roswell, NM with her parents and sisters. While in New Mexico Louise enjoyed visiting the local zoo, listening to country music, visiting the local museum and picnics in the park. In 1980 Louise relocated to Morrisville, VT with her family and became involved in gardening, daily walks with her parents and feeding the ducks at the local lake. She enjoyed cooking, singing and had a passion for classic television and music. Louise also helped care for many rescue animals. Louise was a devoted aunt to her nephews and niece and shared her love and laughter with them throughout the years. When Louise’s health care needs increased she was placed in a private care home in Chester, VT with a wonderful and devoted family. Here Louise developed the hobby of keeping tropical fish, bowling and enjoyed frequent day trips to local sites. Louise was greatly loved by all who knew her. Her infectious charm was evident despite her multiple health challenges.
