SHE WAS MARRIED TO HENRY PORRAS CHACON IN 1951, LATER MOVING TO NEW COMMUNITY OF DEL ROSA, CA.
LOUISE HAD THREE BOYS & THREE GIRLS BORNE TO HER, BUT THE ELDEST CHILD, AN UNIDENTIFIED DAUGHTER, DIED IN CHILDBIRTH (STILL BORN). THE SURVIVING CHILDREN WERE HENRY JR., DANNY, DIANE, RONNIE & ELAINE.
FOLLOWING THE END OF MARRIAGE IN 1968, LOUISE BECAME THE SOLE BREADWINNER, EMPLOYED AT RESTAURANTS & THE COUNTY HOSPITAL TO FINISH RAISING HER SURVIVING FIVE OFFSPRING.
