Lou's interests were as vibrant as her personality. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as tending to her garden and admiring the beauty of flowers. Her love for gardening was only matched by her love for her family. Lou was a doting grandmother whose eyes would light up with pride at the mention of her grandchildren. She was also well known for opening up her home for various family occasions, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who entered.  Lou was proud to have been born and raised in Braddock, and loved to reminisce about the good times with her family and friends.
