Louise Grace Bellini

While growing up in Hyde Park, Louise liked to sit by her backyard stream, enjoying the beautiful violet blossoms of the nearby lilac trees. In school she enjoyed participating in cheerleading and later became a majorette in the high school band. Louise modeled as a young woman and participated in several beauty pageants. During one, in Poughkeepsie, New York, she was awarded the title of Miss Apple Blossom Queen. As a young adult she worked at a local insurance agency and she met and married her husband, Arnold F. Bellini. Together the two raised four children.

Louise enjoyed the creative arts, becoming involved by playing guitar, participating in Irish dancing and painting oil artwork. She was a lover of pets, particularly cats and dogs. For several decades she attended and was a member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Carrollwood Village.

Louise is survived by her children, Linda Wynn (Gregory), Jacksonville, FL, Arnie Bellini (Lauren), Tampa, FL, David Bellini, Tampa, FL and Michael Bellini, Tampa, FL and by her seven grandchildren, Arnold Bellini, Peter Bellini, Kyle Bellini (Carolina), Anthony Bellini, Nicholas Wynn, Allison Wynn and Ava Grant.

Louise will be buried, joining her beloved husband Arnold, at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.
