Louise Padovano

Louise Anne Rose Padovano passed away in the early morning Saturday September 10. Louise was born in Staten Island New York where she met and married her husband of 63 years, Robert J Padovano. She was blessed with three children, Robert, Lisa and Jacqueline, four grandchildren, Samantha, Darien, Nicolette and Talia and two great granddaughters, Evangeli and Emelia.

Louise, whose singing voice could have led to a wonderful career, chose instead to marry and raise her family, as she believed it was her calling from God to be a mother. Her strong belief in God inspired her to reach out to those less fortunate and offer her hand in friendship.

Our mother will always be remembered for her tremendous voice, her patience, her empathy and her strong will to inspire us with the confidence that we could do anything.

Visiting hours will be Saturday, September 17 from 10:00am - 11:30am at St. Francis Of Assisi Church, 4700 Long Beach Blvd., Brant Beach, NJ followed by her Mass of Christian Burial at 11:30am. Entombment will follow mass at St. Mary's Cemetery, Beachview Ave., Manahawkin, NJ.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in her memory to St. Francis of Assisi Parish at www.stfrancisparishlbi.org/donate or EWTN Global Catholic Television Network at www.ewtn.com
