Louise Nona Ellestad

Birth: October 9, 1923 | Died: November 2, 2025

Louise Nona Ellestad, a loving wife, devoted mother, and caring nurse, passed away peacefully at the age of 102.

Born on October 9, 1923, in Minnesota, Louise carried the warmth and resilience of her birthplace throughout her long life. She shared a profound and enduring commitment with her beloved husband, Eugene Ellestad, celebrating more than fifty years of marriage, partnership, and love.

In 1960, Louise and Eugene relocated to California, where she pursued her calling to care for others. She achieved a significant goal in 1962 when she graduated from Fullerton College as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), a career through which she touched countless lives with her compassion and skill.

Louise’s greatest joy was her family, and she leaves behind a beautiful legacy of devotion and love. She is survived by her two children, four cherished grandchildren, and seven adored great-grandchildren.

Louise will be remembered for her quiet strength, nurturing spirit, and the deep, unconditional love she shared with her family. Her presence will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.
