After graduation from St. Patrick's High School, she worked for the City of Providence until her retirement, rising to the position of Clerk of the Probate Court, where she became popularly known to many in the legal community.

Undeterred, Louise then decided to return to work at the Claflin Co. in Warwick, joining her many nieces and nephews in the growing family business.Louise quickly became a beloved member of the Claflin team where she will be dearly missed by many co-workers.
