Louise A. Ridolfo, 76, of Montville, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, on July 5, 2024.

Louise was born in Orange New Jersey the only child of Angelina and Thomas. She was only 15 when she met the love of her life, Rod and she was happily married at the early age of 18 and had 2 children by the age of 22.

Louise prided herself on being a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her greatest joy was cooking and baking for the holidays for her family to enjoy and grace her table. Her delicious Christmas cookies went on for miles and I still can remember waking up to the wonderful smell of her version of Sunday gravy. No one did it better than her. It was the way she showed us her love. We will always cherish all of the wonderful memories and the amazing family traditions she instilled on all of us. Though she may not be with us in person, we will try to always celebrate her life and she will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace Mom, We will carry your memory with us always.

Devoted mother of Rod T. Ridolfo, his wife Jen, Dana Tichio and her husband Dan.  Cherished grandmother of Luke T., Isabella Rose and Nicholas.  Also survived by many loving in-law's, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Louise was pre-deceased by her husband Rod of 56 years, and her parents Thomas and Angelina Andriola.
