Louise enjoyed traveling with her husband, Tom. Over the years they visited many places together and appreciated the opportunity to experience new destinations and spend time together. Their travels together created many lasting memories .

Family was always her greatest priority and the center of her life. She cherished holidays spent surrounded by loved ones and had a special gift of bringing family and friends together. An exceptional cook, she delighted in preparing meals that filled her home with warmth, laughter, and lasting memories. One of her greatest joys was hosting family and friends during her sons Darren Iapoce weekend Memorial Golf tournament where her hospitality, delicious food and welcoming spirit made the gathering a treasured tradition for over 30 years. Her love for family and her ability to make everyone feel at home will be deeply missed.
