Louise Brown passed away on August 14, 2016 in Chicago, IL. She is survived by her devoted grandmother Margaret Richards, her partner and best friend Mark Baldino, and her beloved mother Debbie Brown and sister Tasha Grove. She was also a cherished member of the Baldino family. She joins many special people that have passed before including her grandfather Charlie Richards and great nanny Knight.

Born England on March 29, 1982, and raised in Palatine, IL, she attended Trinity International University and then completed two graduate level degree programs in Education and School Counseling. She recently worked as an educational specialist at the Compass Health Center and as a high school counselor at Highland Park High School. Louise's whole life was dedicated to helping others, especially those who were in their time of need.

Louise was smart, inquisitive, playful, and had large spot in her heart for all canines, in particular her pup Tate. She was also a world traveler, counselor, teacher, caregiver, seeker, and one of the nicest, sweetest human beings on this planet.  Louise was a friend and confidant to countless, described as a fun loving spirit and a special soul by those that knew her.

Louise accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in high school. As an active member of the Park Community Church, her relationship with God remained her foundation, identity, and most treasured gift from that day on.
