Louisea M. Engel

Louisea, beloved mother, wife, and friend, 62, of Waretown, NJ passed away peacefully at her home on May 12, 2026, leaving a void her family cannot fill.

She was born in East Orange, NJ in 1963 and grew up in Pearl River, NY. Louisea attended Pearl River High School before becoming a successful Cosmetologist in New York working with several celebrities. She was most proud in her role as PTA Council President in the Nanuet School District where her son attended.

Louisea was a devoted wife to her husband William (Billy) and mother to her son Anthony, her pride and joy.

Louisea took special joy in telling everyone who would listen about her son and his recent accomplishments no matter how big or small they were. She loved getting together with family, seeing everyone, and sharing stories and dreams. She fell in love with Cape May where her and her husband would spend several weeks, multiple times per year, at the same carriage house that overlooked the beach.

Louisea was preceded in death by her mother Rose and brother Frank, and is survived by husband William, son Anthony, daughter-in-law Danielle, sister Linda, brother John, dog Ben, and cat Chloe, who will never forget the love she brought to their lives.
