Louise McNeish

Born on April 13, 1944, in the Bronx, New York, Louise lived a life filled with love for her family and friends. She cherished long conversations, whether over the phone or through text messages, always staying connected with those she held dear. A passionate reader, she enjoyed participating in book club discussions and found joy in playing cards with friends.

Louise's life was deeply enriched by her family. She is survived by her son, John McNeish and daughter-in-law, Darlene McNeish; her daughter, Theresa Cook; and her beloved grandchildren: Hogan McNeish, Trevor Ivey, Spencer Ivey, Jordan Cook, and Piper Cook. She was predeceased by her husband, Frank McNeish; brothers Louis Lukash and Larry Lukash; and parents John and Theresa Lukash.

Despite facing challenges due to COPD in later years, Louise remained engaged in the activities she loved as much as possible. She adored her pets and also had a special fondness for African wildlife, in particular she cherished wild African Elephants.

Her memory will be treasured by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Elephant Crisis Fund in memory of Louise McNeish.
