Louise M. Edgehouse

LOUISE M. EDGEHOUSE (nee Ballachino), age 77. Devoted mother of John Skerbec, and Laura Wyrock (George); cherished grandmother of Michael Wyrock (Justin), Daniel Wyrock (Seth), and Jennifer Wyrock (Anthony); loving sister of Joseph Ballachino (Debbie) and Annette Jessop; dear aunt of Sheila, Chad, Brenda, Sean, Amber, and Alyssa and many cousins.

Daughter of the late Louis and Amelia Ballachino, Louise was a cherished member of a large Italian family. She was best known for her warmth, deep care, and her delicious baked treats. Having worked as an executive assistant for Penske Logistics for over 30 years, her keen attention to detail was well respected and appreciated. While successful at work, her proudest achievement in life was as a daughter, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend to many. Her most notable hobby was creating confectionary masterpieces to the delight of coworkers, family and friends. When it came to cakes, there was no such a thing as too much chocolate. From birthdays, holidays, weddings, and even Sunday morning coffee, her delicious creations were the star of the party. She was always prepared and welcoming for impromptu visits from friends and family. Louise’s strength and determination through a successful treatment of cancer was inspiring. Always thankful to the many health professionals who cared for her throughout the journey, her kindness and positive outlook was admirable. While sad and mournful at her loss, may she rest in relaxing peace. Louise will be laid to rest next to her late husband Raymond and grandson Nicholas.
