Louise Schraub

Nov 20, 1931 — Sep 4, 2026

Louise Schraub, née Kavanagh, died on September 4, 2026, at the age of 94.

Born on November 20, 1931, Louise lived a long life marked by devotion to family, steady work, and the lasting ties of love and friendship. She was a dedicated employee of J.C. Penney Company for 25 years, a commitment that reflected her reliability, strength, and sense of purpose.

Louise was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Donald Schraub, by her parents, Philip and Anna Kavanagh, and by her cherished son Lawrence (Cathy) Schraub.

She leaves behind a family who will carry her memory forward with affection and gratitude. Louise is survived by her daughter, Donna Wright, and Donna’s husband, John; and by her son, Kenneth M. Schraub, and his wife, Roberta. She was a cherished grandmother to Nicole McCormick and her husband, Brian, Jennifer, Melissa Bosnyak and her husband, Paul, and Johnny Wright. She was also a valued great-grandmother to Miles McCormick and William McCormick. Beyond her immediate family, Louise was a much-loved aunt and a friend to many, and her kindness and presence touched the lives of those around her.

Louise will be remembered for the life she built, the family she treasured, and the quiet, enduring love she gave so freely. Her memory will remain a source of comfort to all who knew her.
