Mrs. Louise B. Barone Cisarik

Louise B. Cisarik was born on October 29, 1933 in the Bronx, New York to Rose and Nick Barone. She died and went to her Lord in Heaven on July 20, 2011 after a four year battle with pancreatic cancer. We were all blessed by her courageous battle with the disease.

She moved to Chicago as a young child and went to St Patrick's High School and Mundelein College. She was preceded in death by her parents and son Stephen. Louise is survived by her husband Jim of 54 years; her children, Jim and wife Marian of Houston, David of Houston, and Brian and wife Ruth of San Antonio; and her brother Nick and wife Belinda of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She is also survived by nine grandchildren. Louise took great joy in her family, dearly loving her sons, their spouses and especially each of her grandchildren. She also enjoyed traveling to locations around the world with her husband.
