Louise LaValle (nee Ciccerelli), age 92. Beloved wife of the late Frank LaValle. Loving mother of Frank LaValle (deceased), Denise LaValle, and Mark LaValle. Cherished grandmother Frank LaValle (Dana) and the late Dominic Lambrakis. Proceeded in death by her sisters Mary, Theresa, and Cindy.
Louise LaValle lived a full and meaningful life centered around family, hard work, and the simple pleasures she cherished most. Alongside her late husband, Frank, Louise spent many years in the restaurant business, serving everything from pizza and pancakes to traditional Italian pasta dishes. Together, they built a life devoted not only to serving their community, but also to raising and caring for their family.
Louise had a remarkable work ethic and a genuine love for the restaurant business. She continued serving guests at her beloved little Italian restaurant well into her 70s before eventually retiring.
In her later years, Louise found great joy in making her house a home. She loved shopping and decorating, tending to her garden, and spending time with her beloved dog, Deano. She especially enjoyed the quiet pleasure of sitting on her front porch and watching the cars pass by.
Louise will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her many years of hard work, and the joy she found in life’s everyday moments. Her presence will be deeply missed and her memory lovingly cherished by all who knew and loved her.
