Louise, best known as Weze, graciously departed our world as an independent, tenacious, exuberant and loving Wife, Mom, Mom Mom, Aunt and Friend. This was consistent with her nature that carried her through life. She was born in Philadelphia and lived in Barrington and Turnersville before settling in Williamstown with her husband, Bob of 60 years. Weze and Bob met when they were 12 years old and married in 1962. Weze had 3 daughters, 2 of which gave her 3 beautiful grandchildren, Michael, Bryan and Meghan, who lit up her life in every way. Her incredible ability to maintain a family’s busy schedule, and her ability to juggle countless household duties and jobs was simply remarkable. Even though Weze was committed to these responsibilities, she truly meant business when it came to fun. She had an adventurous spirit and left joyful memories in the lives of so many around her. Her laugh was contagious, and as lifelong lover of Frank Sinatra, she did it her way.

From 1975 to 1980, she ran LJ’s Deli in Turnersville, where everyone knew her name. In 1980, she joined the Washington Township School System as a cook, eventually serving as head cook, until 2005. She touched the lives of many children at Whitman and Hurffville Schools through those years. Weze was well known for her meatballs! She was an avid bowler and was proud to be a member of the 300 club. She loved to golf, sit in her hot tub and watch the many birds and deer in her backyard from her own sunroom. She loved to travel and go to one of her favorite places, Deerfield Beach, Florida, where every year her and her husband, Bob, would play Rummikube on the beach. She would always be sure to visit her favorite Pelican at the Deerfield Fishing Pier.

She was authentically herself, through and through, and lit up every room she walked into. To know her was to LOVE her. She will ETERNALLY live on in our hearts and minds. She left behind a beautiful legacy and will NEVER be forgotten.

Family and friends are invited to attend her visitation Saturday 10:00 – 12:00 PM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral service 12:00 PM.
