Louise was born in Arlington, VA to Margaret Broderick on March 1, 1928. She was raised by her aunt and uncle in Arlington, VA. She married Jake D. Swim on December 31, 1983, in Manassas, VA. Louise was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a very hard worker for all her life. She worked as a custodian and retail clerk for many years. At 92, she was beautiful with her crystal blue eyes, sharp as could be, charming, smart, and very funny. Her personality undoubtedly made friends easily.
