Louise Schergen

Louise Schergen, 75, passed away on April 13, 2026. Born on September 15, 1950, in Chicago, Louise was, above all, kind, devoted, and loving. She rooted her days in faith and in the life of her church, and she drew her greatest joy from time spent with family and friends. Those who knew her will remember her quiet strength, ready smile, and the way she made everyone feel cared for and welcome.

Throughout her life, Louise found purpose in nurturing relationships and creating a sense of belonging wherever she went. She delighted in simple moments—conversations around the table, laughter shared with friends, and gatherings that brought people closer. Guided by her faith, she was steady and steadfast, offering encouragement and compassion when it was needed most. Her proudest roles were Mom and Grandma: as a mother of two and grandmother of three, she poured immeasurable love, patience, and wisdom into her family, celebrating both the everyday blessings and the milestones that marked their journeys.

Louise is survived by her loving husband, Michael Edward Schergen; her daughters, Amanda Marketti and Michelle Schergen, who carry forward her example of grace and generosity; and her three cherished grandchildren, each a reflection of the love she so freely gave. She will also be deeply missed by extended family, dear friends, and her church community, all of whom felt the warmth of her presence and the constancy of her care.

Those closest to Louise will remember her for the way she lived—with kindness at the forefront, devotion to her faith and family, and a loving heart that never wavered. Though her absence is felt profoundly, her spirit endures in the memories she created and in the lives she touched. May her memory be a comfort and a blessing to all who knew her, and may she rest in peace.
